Power Rankings


In some cases, a team’s ranking was in small part based on their chances of advancing far in the playoffs. This is why Wallman moves ahead of Randell and Younger makes a jump to #6 despite only having an 8-12 record. I know I have not been the only one believing for awhile that Younger is a sleeper, and now they’re starting to deliver on that promise. In my pre-season power rankings I wrote Younger “Wins the award for team nobody wants to go against in the playoffs.” That statement holds as much truth now than it did then. Being in the wide open American League is what keeps Mamone in the top 8 despite losing five consecutive games. Despite this slump, they have a lot of potential and would not be surprised to see them in the semi-finals.
