Power Rankings Part 2

1. Atlanta Pork N Beans - 18 - 2 over the last 20. All because of one player - Richard Mitchell.
Record: 34-12
Previous Ranking: 7

2. Cincinnati Reds - The Reds have been struggling a bit. I know they lost a few guys to short term injuries, including Yamil Pulido, so their struggles are more than likely temporary.
Record: 30-16
Previous Ranking: 2

3. Salem Volcanoes - If you haven't noticed yet the Volcanoes are pretty good. Currently on a 5 games winning streak. Recently took 3 of 4 against the Astros. The AL West, which was previously relatively mediocre, has developed into one of the stronger divisions in the league.
Record: 29-17
Previous Ranking: 2

4. Santa Fe Good Will - Offense and defense have been superb, but their pitching will need to improve of they want to hold off the Corn Dogs atop the AL South.
Record: 28-18
Previous Ranking: 4

5. Colorado Rockies - Currently leading the league in runs scored. Pitching isn't quite there though. If they can find some pitching they will be an extremely good team.
Record: 28-18
Previous Ranking: 3

6. Houston Astros - Another that is scoring runs, but needs their pitching to improve. This team has the potential to be scary good if their rotation improves.
Record: 27-19
Previous Ranking: 8

7. St. Louis Barracudas - The Barracudas make their 1st appearance in the rankings. One the hottest teams in the league over the past 20 games.
Record: 26-20
Previous Ranking: UR

8. Santa Cruz Caballeros - The Caballeros make their 1st appearance in the rankings. Currently on an 8 game winning streak. Pulled within 3 games of Salem. Off to a great start after a disappointing season 10.
Record: 26-20
Previous Ranking: UR

9. Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays make their 1st appearance in the rankings. The Blue Jays are having good season thus far. Especially considering the loss season 10 all star Javier Santayana.
Record: 26-20
Previous Ranking: UR

10. Monterrey Corn Dogs - The Corn Dogs seem to be back on track after a slow start to the season. Only 3 games back of the Good Will in the AL South.
Record: 25-21
Previous Ranking: UR
