Week 15 Rankings

Week 15 Power Rankings:
There comes a time each season where it becomes pretty easy to divide teams into four groups:

The clear contenders
The teams who can join the elite group if they become just a little more consistent
The teams who may flash he occasional moments of promise but are mostly below average
The Teams who seem destined for a first round exit.

This year, the middle two categories are combining to form one giant group of average teams.
Here’s a stat the best illustrates the mediocrity thus far. Last year there were four teams that ended
with a run differential between -1.1 runs and 1.1 runs per game. This year there are NINE teams that fit
that criterion.

Teams that once looked destined for bad seasons are now in the middle of the pack (Granese, Harris,
Lapine) while some teams who once looked like clear elite teams have shown more inconsistency than
expected (Beilis, Goldfarb). At this point in the season, it’s hard to imagine teams moving into another
category, but there might be some big jumps within that middle group. There’s not a huge gap between
a team ranked #7 or 8 from a team ranked 12 or 13. The only possibility is if Team Carlin’s losing streak
continues and another team, most likely Beilis or Goldfarb catch fire.
