Had Messed up alot on my last Power Rankings i think these are more accurate but i probably won't think that next week.
A- 100-93
B- 92-85
C- 84-75
D- 74-70
F- 69 or Below
#1 New York Yankees- One of the better rotations in the league but will it change since they have to get under the cap is the main question could fall in my power rankings if they dont make good trades. Offense good but old needs to get younger if they want to contend for years to come. Main focus is getting under the cap without hurting contention and they need a Closer.
Grade: 93 A and Previous Grade 86 B
#2 Boston Red Sox- No longer Number 1 did not take long after making a trade lol. Rotation is still good don't get me wrong but it's just not the same and offense well i can't rank them higer than the Yankees because they have no 1B or 3B those are 2 big missing pieces. Need to get those 2 filled and a SP.
Grade- 92 B and Previous Grade 91 B
#3 Angels- Have done a nice job since last Power Rankings only really needs one more good SP and a CF. If it were me i would get a 1B because i like 30-40 HR at the corner but Ike is good nothing wrong with him and bullpen is pretty nice lot of Yankees.
Grade- 91 B and Previous Grade 90 B
#4 Detroit Tigers- Has done one of the best jobs since my last Power Rankings but im gonna drop them because i just don't think they are better than the team's in front of them right now but they will be the way they trade.
Grade- 88 B and Previous Grade 92
#5 Texas Rangers- I like this team alot one of the best 1-2-3 in the league and offense main focus for me is OF and well i said before i like Power Corner Infielders they need a 1B great team not far at all from dominating.
Grade- 86 B and Previous Grade 84 C
#6 Tampa Bay Rays- Just like the Jays they seem to be getting players who are just coming in or who are in there 2nd or 3rd year. Rotation is pretty nice with Hamels and Lester would be nice to know what the rest will look like but just gonna have to wait and see i love there bullpen Marmol and Capps back there.
Grade- 84 C and Previous Grade 78 C
#7 Clevand Indians- Well they got there Ace (Jake Peavy) they just need to fill out the rest of the rotaiton and maybe they can get a way with a AL Central Division Title and have a chance to compete with the bigger teams for the WS title.
Grade- 84 C and Previous Grade 80 C
#8 St.Louis Cardinals- The only reason they got this high was because of Pujols,Carpenter,and Wainwright alot of other good players are on the team but these are the main one's still need to improve however.
Grade- 83 C and Previous Grade 90 B
#9Washington Nationals- Need that Ace in there rotation. There offense is very nice with talented young players all around the field but just need that true ace and will be a contender in that young talented NL East Division.
Grade- 80 C and Previous Grade 75 C
#10 Chicago White Sox- Rotation ain't all that bad but no true ace Chase Utley is there stand out player on there offense. Really just need to focus on there OF and if they can get some Superstars or players that can get the job done they will be a great contender and higher on my list way higher.
Grade- 79 C and Previous Grade 61 F
#11 Houston Astros- Still a good team needs to fill out there offense before getting ranked any higher nice rotation i like it alot but there offense is my main concern hopefully if they want to contend Chris Johnson won't be playing 3B not a good 3B.
Grade- 79 C and Previous Grade 76 C
#12 Minnesota Twins- Not gonna stay this high for long with quite a few teams improving and will still be improving even more before the next Power Rankings are up the main one is the O's just need a few more roster spots filled before i get them higher. Twins need that guy that stands out like a Jon Lester or Ryan Zimmermann type player to get ranked with the elite.
Grade- 79 C and Previous Grade 76 C
#13 Florida Marlins- Pretty nice team just needs a couple tweaks here and there. Could be a great team if they get 1 more young ace. Heard they had Hanley Ramirez on the block don't if they are rebuilding or just wanting to trade him for some good players that are ready.
Grade- 78 C and Previous Grade 78 C
#14 Cincinnati Reds- Ok team not one of the elite one's right now but could change with a Ace and that stand out 3B they got Miggy and Beckett to lead there way so not that bad there but need to build around the rest of there team doing a good job though could be a top team if they continue to make good trades.
Grade- 78 C and Previous Grade- 80 C
#15 Atlanta Braves- I love this OF with Jason Heyward and Carlos Gonzalez great 1-2 punch. Rotation is pretty nice but if they could get that SP like David Price will jump way high in my Power Rankings if they did not trade away some of there prospects like Mike Minor and Freddie Freeman would be ranked higher but still good team.
Grade- 75 C and Previous Grade 75 C
#16 L.A. Dodgers- have not done much of anything since last Power Rankings still don't like there team as much actually starting to like them less will need to make a move or two. Before they get any higher on my list.
Grade- 74 D and Previous Grade 75 C
#17 Toronto Blue Jays- Looks like there main focus is there Offense going the young talented players there with J.P. and Smoak leading the way. There Pitching is a work in progess with Haren as the ace and no one really after him and bullpen is in pretty good shape they just need that closer to make it solid.
Grade- 74 D and Previous Grade- 75 C
#18 Miluakee Brewers- Offense is quite while don't know why i said what i said about yall last time very nice team but need some more players to see what kind of team you really are you might crack the top 15 if you make the right moves.
Grade- 74 D and Previous Grade- 72 D
#19 Seattle Mariners- Average team that is very tough to rank with there ok rotation with Garza and Hernandez but there offense i dont really know tough to rank this team once they get that one more Offensive player in that lineup should be easier to rank i think i got this wrong to put them here but i mean it's not easy good team though.
Grade-73 D and Previous Grade 62 F
#20 Philladelphia Phillies- Im gonna leave you this low but i don't think by next Power Rankings you will be because im starting to fall in love with your Power Surging Offense but your rotaiton hopefully you adjust that so you will go way higher on Power Rankings and a great contender in the NL East.
Grade- 73 D and Previous Grade 73 D
#21 Colorado Rockies- If it were not for a young team that has a ton of hype i would not be ranking them this high but i like them alot and think they are worthy of this spot great team for the future could be a surpise team in the NL West but i really doubt it but who know's.
Grade- 72 D and Previous Grade 72 D
#22 Chicago Cubs- Don't really think they are that great of a team got 2 or 3 standout players but that's not enough to contend gotta have a team and they dont have it right now heard they had Roy Oswalt on the block depending on what they get back is where they will go on my new power rankings next time.
Grade- 69 F and Previous Grade 69 F
#23 Pittsburgh Pirates- Messed up ranking them as high as they were on the last one messed up on quite a few teams they don't belong till that rotation gets fixed they have no one that will be a number 4 starter on any other team except for royals.
Grade- 69 F and Previous Grade 77 F
#24 Baltimore Orioles- Not hard to say they are the worst in the AL East but they are thriving for success with there trade to grab on Roy Halladay. If they continue what they are doing could easily win the AL East but it is gonna be tough when i have them ranked lower than every team in there division.
Grade- 68 F and Previous Grade 49 F
#25 Oakland A's- Don't think they have changed at all since my last Power Rankings still just an average ball club they need a SP and Bat to stand out i guarantee if they get that they will be contenders and i messed up on there last Power Ranking should have been lower.
Grade- 67 F and Previous Grade 76 C
#26 Arizona Diamondbacks- Pretty nice rotation i don't know if they made a trade but there team looks better in this Power Ranking still not a team that i see contending unless they fix some problems we will see next week if i think they got better.
Grade- 64 F and Previous Grade 58 F
#27 Padres- There team is ok but not for this season like i said on the last Power Rankings a good team for the future same goes for this one. I do think they will be able to deliver some losses that will have some teams not make the playoffs but won't be able to play this year for a playoff spot.
Grade- 64 F and Previous Grade 59 F
#28 San Francisco Giants- Moving in the right direction but still far away from any playoff spot i love the Starlin pick up and berkman getting there but along ways away.
Grade-57 F and Previous Grade 55 F
#29 New York Mets- No doubt are they a rebuilding team and they are doing it very nicely with out a doubt will be contenders with in the next year or 2.
Grade- 51 F and Previous Grade 51 F
#30 Kansas City Royals- Not much to say anything about they need to fill out MLB team before they even get in the top 25 on my list.
