Power Rankings Ryan

Team

Power Point

1

Tucson Mail Order Cowboys

544.125

Combining speed, power and pitching Tucson could be the AL team to beat this season.

2

Houston Stone Cold Killers

543.625

Rookie Starting Pitcher Brian Iwazaki has made an early impression on the league with his 7-1 record and 3.20 ERA

3

Colorado Mile High Club

540.125

Bating .329 as a team, who needs pitching? It doesn't hurt that Del Prieto is batting darn near .500 on the season.

4

Memphis Amon-Ra

535

Top pitching team right now also has the most wins.

5

Chicago Wolves

526.125

Starting Pitching is doing so well they have only allowed 23 inherited runners, less than 5 other teams have allowed inherited runners to actually score.

6

Colorado Springs Organizational Filler

522.125

9 games under his belt and Ismael Perez
(CSP) has 2 complete games 1 shutout and a 2.80 ERA and stills no honors for the season.

7

Salt Lake City Prospectors

521.625

Team WHIP is 1.18. A tenth better than the next closest team.

8

Minnesota Wobegon's

500.375

RF'er Jose Ayala's Knee is basically shredded. Experts believe he will lose considerable speed and his base running confidence on his newly repaired knee will be compromised.

9

Cleveland Spyders

485.375

2 of the top 5 league leading home run hitters are in Cleveland Pedro Osuna and Albert Frazier.

10

Texas Tornadoes

473.5

Aurelio Espada's 22 game hitting streak came to an end this week. Still it helped the team hold a top 10 ranking.

11

Philadelphia Stars

437.75

Brought in Journeyman Pitcher Mike Clark. Clark has struggled the past 3 seasons to find his rhythm I doubt he finds it here.

12

Madison Massa's

408.125

Only team in league history to never win less than 90 games, They might lose that distinction this season as they sit at almost .500 on the season.

13

New York Dolls

404.625

Worst fielding team in the league by 4 errors.

14

Cincinnati Ramrod

397.5

No 2 guys have been caught stealing more than tough luck runners Aaron Holt
and Brad Finnessey who are ranked 1 and 2 in the league in caught steals.

15

New York Knights

377.625

Some insiders have suggested that the Knights might have exaggerated rule 5 3B Pedro Franco's back injury and are now stashing him on the DL for the season

16

Salem Slammers

361.25

RP Midre Maradona has faced 13 inherited runners and not one has scored this season.

17

Cheyenne Marmots

361

Rookie batting SS Raul Mairena has slowly worked his way into the Marmot lineup and has performed pretty well. Batting .272 in 70 at bats so far.

18

Pawtucket Blast

350

Brought in from the Waiver wires Pablo Sosa has struggled to find his pace in Pawtucket. I'm not sure how much more rope he will get to straighten his mechanics this season.

19

Santa Fe BUTCHERS

338

There have been 3 season ending injuries already this season, but none may be more devastating than Calvin Coco who seems too messed up his elbow so bad that scouts project he may never recover enough velocity and handle on this pitches to be as effective.

20

Pittsburgh Pirates

331.625

The preseason trade that brought in Harvey Harville seems to have been just what; the pitcher needed to rejuvenate is career. He is 2 full runs under his career ERA.

21

Louisville Loud Mouths

326.5

Huge week of movement, bringing in a number of new faces including pitcher Darwin Powers and Matty Shipley and LF Sammy Aguilar to the mix

22

Monterrey Metros

309.75

Luis Mota is striking out at a rate of 1 every 3 at bats. So far you can overlook it as he's batting. 293 on the season.

23

Atlanta Braves

305.375

Newly Acquired 3B Roger Post looked great for 11 games and showed why Atlanta went after him in trade, then his back and neck gave out. Lost for the rest of the season.

24

Seattle Fainting Goats

274

Rp Orlando Frias
(SEA)24 games has been sterling. His WHIP is a miniscule .87 . No one is getting a hit off him.

25

Norfolk Train Wrecks

254

Only team that has not attempted a stolen base this season.

26

St. Louis Twains

249

Rookie Closer Willie Estrada
(STL) is handling the duties well 9/10 in saves with a 1.64 ERA so far.

27

Anaheim strasfigor

247.75

28

Burlington Ice Storm

246.875

Almost ½ the Storms games have been decided by 1 run. They need to get the order hitting before the pen wears out.

29

Durham Bulls

228

32 "–" plays on the young season, defense not looking so great so far.

30

Wichita Wildcats

217.5

31

Kansas City McCoys

201.5

A lot of things are going wrong right now in KC, but not closer Jose Jose who is a perfect 7/7 with a 0 ERA.

32

Montgomery Montgomery Biscuits

177.75

An almost 10 ERA would get you a place as the worst team in the league. AI on since 1.28,puts this team on watch.
