Inaugural MLB Power Rankings

Rank	LW	Team	Record
1	--	Detroit Tigers	0-0
		This team is stacked and my WS pick. But can their bullpen hold up?
2	--	New York Mets	0-0
		Should be this year's WS Wildcard team. Solid all-around.
3	--	Seattle Mariners	0-0
		Bedard may win the AL Cy Young. Should runaway with AL West.
4	--	Los Angeles Dodgers	0-0
		Joe Torre will be the best offseason move by the Dodgers.
5	--	New York Yankees	0-0
		Weak pitching, but I think the sentimental factor of the last year at Yankee Stadium leads them.
6	--	Chicago Cubs	0-0
		Everyone loves the Cubs this year, but will they be solid in October?
7	--	Atlanta Braves	0-0
		My pick to win the NL East. The Braves are back.
8	--	Cleveland Indians	0-0
		Great all-around team. A lot of high expectations may weigh heavy on them though.
9	--	Boston Red Sox	0-0
		Should be the best team to miss the playoffs.
10	--	Milwaukee Brewers	0-0
		Much improved team, should give the Cubs a run for their money.
11	--	Arizona Diamondbacks	0-0
		Such a great young team all-around. May win the division.
12	--	Toronto Blue Jays	0-0
		Every year people build up the Blue Jays and every year they finish 3rd in the East. More of the same.
13	--	San Diego Padres	0-0
		They better outpitch everyone because this is not an offensive juggernaut by any means.
14	--	Philadelphia Phillies	0-0
		You never know with the Phillies. I say they will be good, but not good enough.
15	--	Los Angeles Angels	0-0
		Initially I felt they could win the West, but costly injuries will hurt them.
16	--	Colorado Rockies	0-0
		Their incredible September last year will not be duplicated.
17	--	Cincinnati Reds	0-0
		Could be a threat early, but their lack of depth hurts them come summertime.
18	--	Chicago White Sox	0-0
		It's hard to say which direction this team is going, but I'm thinking they're still below .500.
19	--	Texas Rangers	0-0
		Josh Hamilton will have big numbers in the Texas heat. The pitching staff, not so much.
20	--	Tampa Bay Devil Rays	0-0
		An improved team that can outhit anyone. Pitching is better too, but still too young.
21	--	Pittsburgh Pirates	0-0
		Mark it down, 16 consecutive losing seasons for the Pirates.
22	--	Kansas City Royals	0-0
		Still a bad team, but may show signs of a bright future with Alex Gordon and Billy Butler.
23	--	San Francisco Giants	0-0
		Barry Zito has to be the worst #1 pitcher in baseball. They could be even worse than I think.
24	--	Washington Nationals	0-0
		Nice new stadium, but still a bad team.
25	--	St. Louis Cardinals	0-0
		Injuries should crush the Cardinals again this year.
26	--	Oakland Athletics	0-0
		Shouldn't expect much from the A's. Billy Beane has them in transition, hoping for a solid 2010 team.
27	--	Houston Astros	0-0
		Sooner or later Roy Oswalt has to get tired of this team getting worse.
28	--	Minnesota Twins	0-0
		Santana and Hunter are gone. And they are in a tough division. Not good.
29	--	Florida Marlins	0-0
		It's the Marlins, they're way too young right now.
30	--	Baltimore Orioles	0-0
		Should easily be the worst team in baseball this year and maybe next year too.
