We are back at it. After another exciting week of baseball, we saw a lot of great games cause some moving and shaking in the standings. Closing in on draft day some teams (Houston and Baltimore) looked primed to reload the minors which is crazy since these teams have been mainstays in the Top 10 this season. A few other teams, like the current #30 Texas Rangers, lack a pick in the first 5 rounds. No matter what team you are, the draft does offer some amount of hope for the future. Without further ado, here are the Week 8 Power Rankings.
30. Texas Rangers (-1)
29. San Diego Padres (+1)
28. Atlanta Braves (0)
27. Boston Red Sox (-1)
26. Milwaukee Brewers (-3)
25. Seattle Mariners (-3)
24. Minnesota Twins (+5)
23. Cleveland Indians (+4)
22. Chicago White Sox (-2)
21. Chicago Cubs (-5)
20. Miami Marlins (-2)
19. Philadelphia Phillies (0)
18. Cincinnati Reds (+7)
17. Los Angeles Dodgers (+1)
16. Toronto Blue Jays (-2)
15. New York Yankees (+2)
14. Kansas City Royals (-3)
13. Washington Nationals (-5)
12. Pittsburgh Pirates (-6)
11. San Francisco Giants (+2)
10. Baltimore Orioles (-3)
9. Oakland Athletics (+1)
8. Tampa Bay Rays (+1)
7. New York Mets (+5)
6. Arizona Diamondbacks (+9)
5. Colorado Rockies (-4)
4. St. Louis Cardinals (+1)
3. Houston Astros (+1)
2. Detroit Tigers(+1)
1. Los Angeles Angels (+1)
Biggest Rise: Arizona Diamondbacks +9 after beating former #1 Colorado
Biggest Fall: Pittsburgh Pirates -6
AL GOTW: Toronto Blue Jays (16) vs Tampa Bay Rays (8)
NL GOTW: Colorado Rockies (5) vs St. Louis Cardinals (4)
Teams to watch: Mets, Orioles, Yankees
Storylines to watch: Baltimore fire sale, Flurry of new owners
That concludes this weeks Power Ranking update. If anyone has any ideas how to improve it moving forward let me know. Let's look forward to another week of great baseball!
