Power rankings: No tricks here, folks - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
Ok I seriously think I've lost all respect for Tim Brown and his objectivity. These power ranking are just plain laughable the way he has them arranged. About the only thing that makes sense is the bottom 3 teams. I mean I don't like the Padres but 27th after a 7-3 start get real...

...wow
Teams are ranked according to what I believe to be their general capabilities, not necessarily how they are playing today.
And so, of course, the Big 6 take up 6 of the 7 top spots, even though their combined record is 27-27. Since apparently they don’t play baseball in places between Chicago and Los Angeles. Good grief, how is this guy allowed to be published?

Yeah my thoughts exactly
I was slightly disappointed on where the Rox were, until I saw some of the other teams, and then I was shocked we weren’t last.

What’s the point of publishing them in the first place then? We all know which teams get the most love in general…it doesn’t really need to be rehashed

Hmmm....
if they’re not ranked by how they’re playing today, doesn’t that defeat the entire purpose of Power Rankings?
Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.
