Interleague play is just around the corner, which means that the National League teams, as a group, will start trending lower...because interleague play is dumb and the two leagues have a different rule set.
Rank | Team (last week) | Comment |
1 | Dodgers (4) | Matt Kemp? Oh no! |
2 | Rangers (3) | I'm proud to say that Josh Hamilton is on my fantasy team. |
3 | Rays (1) | This team has a full disabled list. |
4 | Braves (8) | Swept the Cardinals? I like these guys. |
5 | Orioles (6) | I'm really really stunned these guys are playing this well. |
6 | Cardinals (2) | Jon Jay is back on the DL....and he was doing so well. |
7 | Nationals (5) | Bryce Harper has been almost everything that he was advertised to be...except for his defense which is a little suspect right now. |
8 | Yankees (9) | The Yankees probably deserved to move up a little more this week...but I don't like them. |
9 | Mets (11) | I'm sure Mets fans were thrilled to hear that Jason Bay has been cleared to start doing baseball activities again. |
10 | Marlins (13) | Ozzie has this team playing damn well right now. I'm kinda disappointed. |
11 | Indians (7) | Derek Lowe is having a really impressive season for the Tribe so far this year. |
12 | Reds (12) | Joey Votto is a monster...but he's no Bryan LaHair! |
13 | Athletics (14) | I'm still dumbfounded by the fact this team is over .500 |
14 | Giants (15) | I think this team is on the brink of a really good stretch. |
15 | Blue Jays (10) | I'd like to think the Blue Jays can keep up with the rest of this division, but I don't think it's going to happen. |
16 | Tigers (16) | Jim Leyland has got to be sitting in his office after every game chain smoking and wondering why this team isn't playing better. |
17 | Red Sox (26) | This is the streakiest team in baseball right now. |
18 | Phillies (21) | The argument between Charlie Manuel and "Balkin" Bob Davidson today was great...more f-bombs than in the movie "Casino". |
19 | Pirates (23) | With his slow start a thing of the past, Andrew McCutchen is again proving why he's the best center fielder in baseball. |
20 | Diamondbacks (17) | I love Justin Upton...but he's got to start hitting. |
21 | White Sox (24) | The Sox are a mess. I think they kept the wrong guy in the Kenny/Ozzie fued. |
22 | Brewers (22) | I wanted to rank them lower, but taking 2 out of 3 from the Cubs didn't allow me to. |
23 | Cubs (25) | As good as Bryan LaHair has been...he's going to have to move to the outfield soon because Anthony Rizzo has nothing left to prove in the minor leagues. |
24 | Rockies (18) | This team is falling apart. Might be time for another managerial change to spark another big 2nd half. |
25 | Mariners (19) | Cubs fans complain about Castro as the #3 hitter...but Ichiro shown much less power in the same spot. |
26 | Royals (27) | Jonathan Broxton as resurrected his career in KC...just about the only bright spot on that horrendous pitching staff. |
27 | Angels (20) | Cardinal fans think that Pujols's elbow is to blame for his issues in Anaheim...it's been an ongoing problem for him for a number of years now. |
28 | Padres (29) | They're team leader in home runs is Chase Headley with 4...on pace for about 18 for the season. That's not good. |
29 | Twins (30) | Good news Minnesota fans...the Vikings are finally getting a new stadium!!! |
30 | Colt 45s (28) | They played crappy enough this week for me to drop them down to the last spot again. All is right with the world. |
