NL Power Rankings

NL:
1. Cincinnati Reds - Can they win 4 in a row? The loss of Paulie Sanders hurts their chances, but the Reds should be near the top of the NL.

2. Houston Astros - Quite possibly the best overall team in the NL. Everett Hill is quite possibly the best hitter in league history. Heinie Watkins, Sid Bryant, and Russell Relaford are pretty good too.

3. Milwaukee Brewers - Already one the best rotations in the league.....before the addition of Mike Leius. Good chance they win title #2 this season.

4. Pittsburgh Pirates - Finally turned the corner last season, but still finished 4th in their division.

5. Atlanta Pork N Beans - Blah.

6. Chicago Cubs - Dwight Johnson and his prostitute sister are still hanging in there. Cubs are still a very good team.

7. Cleveland Indians - Last season was the franchises first season over .500 ever. Wouldn't be surprised if they overtook the PnBs for the NL East title this season.

8. Kansas City Royals - Yoker is going for his 3rd straight division title this season. The real question is will Yoker go for 4 straight team name and city changes next season? I am going to go ahead and engrave Jesse Brennaman name on the ROY trophy.

9. Trenton Ball Hogs - Trenton has improved their winning percentage in each of the last four seasons. Impressive. Its only a matter of time before Pedro DeSoto wins a CY Young.

10. Florida Marlins - Finally have a good owner of this franchise. This team is absolutely stacked with talented prospects. Not quite there yet, but I have a feeling they will be extremely good in a few seasons.

11. El Paso Czars - Harnaldo takes over were Xubrad left off. Team is actually pretty decent shape. I could see them finishing better than .500.

12. Vancouver Canadians - Paulie Sanders should be a nice addition.

13. Los Angels Duffers - Cmfrtblynumb takes over for Weo. Team really needs pitching help. Not sure the addition of Victor Guzman is enough.

14. New York Mets - The team has some solid young players, but the pitching isn't very impressive.

15. Texas Rangers - Still a project. Good young players, but not much in the way of pitching.

16. Oklahoma City Kevin Durants - Definitely stocked up their farm system. Time to start winning (or least winning more than 30% of their games).
