Fire's Power Rankings #1

Just when you thought it was safe to read the blog, here comes something that will leave you scratching your head. These power rankings have nothing to do with the standings but overall team play. Factors that can effect these rankings is the schedule, ball parks, injuries and team speed. Should a team use this to rush out and fix an area? The answer only depends, because fixing one area could break another. The number in the parents is the teams overall score.

AL
1. Tampa Bay Rays (34) - Defense could be hurting the teams chances.
2. Huntington Good Will (38) - Outhitting teams on the road.
3. St. Louis Barracudas (43) - Pitching, not much else happening.
4. Las Vegas Slobs(44) - Pitching and defense goes a long way sometimes.
5. Monterrey Corn Dogs (46) - Pitchers try to fake injuries at home.
6. Kansas City Royals (52) - Pitchers play "Please Mr Custer" at home.
7. New York Yankees (53) - Plays well for the most part but could be better.
8. Detroit Detroit (58) - Gets out hit at home.
9. Austin Fightin' Armadillos (59) - Nothing goes right at home.
10. Salt Lake City Multiple Spouses (63) - Duck and cover at home.
11. Toronto Blue Jays (64) - The team bus left for the airport, the pitchers stayed home.
12. Dover Dung Beetles (70) - Hitting is even, defense is good, not sure what to make of the pitching.
13. San Diego Dirt Bags (76) - Hitting? I can understand at home, but worse on the road.
14. Philadelphia Athletics (77) - Defense or lack of it.
15. Arizona Splashlogs (85) - Goes on vacation and doesn't tell anybody?
16. Washington D.C. Senators (90) - Once we find some pitching we will win.

NL
1. Chicago Cubs (35) - Hitting isn't really that good, but the pitching and defense is.
2. Cincinnati Reds (43) - Defense? and away hitting...
3. Louisville Swingers (45) - Defense and hitting, pitching is 2nd rate and maybe worse.
4. Vancouver Canadians (46) - Something goes astray on the road.
5. Jacksonville Beach Boys (50) - Play better than record indicates.
6. Atlanta Pork-N-Beans (51) - Defense and home field hurts.
7. Houston Astros (52) - Team isn't broke, it's the Juice Box.
8. Pittsburgh Pirates (53) - If we could just hit.
9. Cleveland Indians (56) - Hitting just isn't coming around.
10. New York Mets (62) - Hitting, what is that?
11. Milwaukee Brewers (64) - Everyone else hits at home, why can't we?
12. Trenton Ball Hogs (68) - Start out like a house on fire, then realization sets in that we can't play defense or hit on the road.
13. Salem Mayhem (75) - Forgot to buy gloves, but the corked bats are working. Now if I could just find some pitching above little league.
16. Santa Fe Heat (81) - It is the stadium I tell ya.
15. Scottsdale Pepperjackets (83) - The mist for dry air, that didn't help either.
16. Oklahoma City Kevin Durants (88) - We are learning and getting better and you can take that to the bank.
