Power Rankings Part 3

1. Cincinnati Reds - Back atop the power rankings once again after an impressive 11 game winning streak.
Record: 47 - 23
Previous Ranking: 2

2. Santa Fe Goodwill - Great season thus far. I really thought their poor pitching would catch up to them, but their impressive defense and offense have them atop the AL South with the best record in the AL.
Record: 46 - 24
Previous Ranking: 4

3. Atlanta Pork N Beans - Leagues best record, but struggling as of late. A series against the minor league team from Austin should help.
Record: 48 - 22
Previous Ranking: 1

4. Chicago Cubs - Neglected in the power rankings all season long. The Cubs made a nice high risk, high reward trade that added Albert Johnson to their line up. This trade could very well propel the Cubs to the top of the NL.
Record: 44 - 26
Previous Ranking: UR

5. St. Louis Barracudas - Impressive 13 - 2 over their last 15 games.
Record: 44 - 26
Previous Ranking: 7

6. Houston Astros - I think KJD broke Dan Hitchcock and Mel Wagner.
Record: 45 - 25
Previous Ranking: 6

7. Toronto Blue Jays - Never expected the Jays to be this good after losing Javier Santayana for the season.
Record: 42 - 28
Previous Ranking: 9

8. Colorado Rockies - Offense is really carrying the Rockies right now. Really impressive lineup that appears to be benefiting from the move to Colorado. Pitching has been weak all season. Maybe its the thin air.
Record: 40 - 30
Previous Ranking: 5

9 (tie). Cleveland Indians - Impressive pitching, but they need to find a way to score some more runs. If they find a way to start scoring some runs they would likely close that gap on the PnBs.
Record: 39 - 31
Previous Ranking: UR

9 (tie) Las Vegas Slobs - Tough inter-league that included the Reds, Cubs, and Pirates. Like the Indians their pitching has been impressive, but they need to find a way to score more runs.
Record: 39 - 31
Previous Ranking: UR

10. Florida Marlins - The Marlins impressive (impressive is the word of the day) 11 game win streak moves them above a few teams with better records. Currently 9 games bacl of the Astros in the NL South, but their is plenty of time left in the season.
Record: 36 - 34
Previous Ranking: UR
