MLB power rankings, week 2
1 Red Sox 3-4) Last Week-1. A rough week, but considering the road they've been on already, that was probably to be expected.
2 Yankees (3-3) Last Week-2. Struggled early, but so did most other contending teams.
3 Indians (3-3) Last Week-4. Need Sabathia to start pitching better.
4 Mets (2-3) Last Week-5. Losing Pedro isn't going to help their pitching depth.
5 Padres (4-3) Last Week-6. Finally, a team with a winning record! Peavy looks great early.
6 Angels (4-3) Last Week-7. Currently the only AL team predicted to make the playoffs with a winning record.
7 Diamondbacks (4-2) Last Week-10. Pitching could carry them a long way.
8 Cubs (3-3) Last Week-9. Kosuke Fukudome, welcome to Chicago.
9 Brewers (5-1) Last Week-16. It's early, but I may have underestimated them.
10 Phillies (2-4) Last Week-8. Just their usual slow start.
11 Tigers (0-6) Last Week-3. You simply can't get swept by the Royals and White Sox if you expect to contend in the AL.
12 Dodgers (4-2) Last Week-14. If the offense can produce, this could be the darkhorse team in the NL.
13 Blue Jays (4-2) Last Week-15. Great week against the teams they're trying to catch this year. Keep an eye on them.
14 Braves (3-3) Last Week-12. Struggled with the Pirates. For that alone they drop this week.
15 Mariners (2-4) Last Week-11. I'm not convinced that they are real contenders. Need huge years out of Bedard and Hernandez.
16 White Sox (4-2) Last Week-19. Much better team than last year. Looked real good against Detroit.
17 Reds (4-2) Last Week-18. Darkhorse in the NL Central.
18 Cardinals (5-1) Last Week-20. Where did that come from? 5 wins without a Pujols home run.
19 Royals (4-2) Last Week-21. Pitching looked great in sweep of Tigers. Can they keep it up?
20 Rockies (1-5) Last Week-13. Latest in line of NL champions who struggle to play .500 ball the next year?
21 Twins (3-4) Last Week-17. Will continue to be the Twins. Good pitching, good defense, and be a pesky team for anyone to play.
22 Rays (3-2) Last Week-22. Won a series over the Yankees.
23 Rangers (3-3) Last Week-23. Had some decent pitching this week. If the Mariners drop off, they could contend for 2nd.
24 Orioles (4-1) Last Week-27. Surprise of the week. Doubtful they keep it up for long.
25 Astros (2-5) Last Week-24. Is this really the same franchise that was in the World Series in 2005?
26 A's (3-4) Last Week-25. Won the series against Cleveland and played Boston tough.
27 Nationals (3-4) Last Week-26. Started out 3-0. Then they came back to Earth.
28 Marlins (3-3) Last Week-30. 2 wins against Pirates move them up 2 spots.
29 Pirates (3-3) Last Week-29. Won the Atlanta series, then lost the Florida series.
30 Giants (1-5) Last Week-28. They're terrible. Get ready for 100 losses by the bay.

MLB power rankings, week 2All in all a good list, but they Jays should be in the top 10 IMO, they played solid all around games and beat up on the defending champs (yes i know they are weary), but out scoring them 23-9 in the 3 games combined definitely says something |

MLB power rankings, week 2Yeah you may be right. I tried to avoid too much major movement after 1 week, but that may be one I overlooked. I'll definitely keep that in mind for next week. I may have to move them higher than I would have with another great week. |

MLB power rankings, week 2Didn't want to make any huge movements in the first week, other than I moved the Tigers down a lot for their 0-6 start. Now that the Royals have kept it up for a couple of weeks, I'd expect a bigger movement up this week. |
