Power Rankings- There's a Team Sneaking Up on Fradkin

1. Fradkin (1): They’re on a two game losing streak and they’ve shown more holes than they did earlier in the year, but I still think they’re the most dangerous team in the league even if the gap isn’t quite what I thought it used to be.

2. Pollock (5): Best record and best run differential in the league, so why am I ranking our team second and not first? Maybe as the author of this blog  I don’t want to put us at the top until it’s clear cut. We’ve been racking up high quality wins though, and a victory against Marrone maybe be enough to earn us the #1 spot.

3. Goldfarb (3): They’re still one of the top teams even though they’re not running away with the best record like a lot of people predicted(see the pre-season captain’s poll). I think the dog days of summer will play into this team’s hand given how young the core roster is.

4. Brock (5): I didn’t think any team would challenge Fradkin for first place in the East, but Brock can supplant the #1 power rankings team with a win on Sunday. To break into the top 3, I think Brock will have to start scoring some more runs. They’ve only topped 11 runs once this season.

5. Bykofsky (2): Falling three spots after splitting a DH might be harsh, but that’s what happens when teams are bunched so closely. We’ve yet to really see what this team can go when they have all 13.

6. Marrone (7): I didn’t think anyone would put up Fradkin numbers except, well Fradkin but Jeremy Paster is well on his way to putting up one of the best offensive seasons the league has ever seen. Add veteran Andy Pargament and second year breakout Evan Binder to the mix and this is the best hitting trio in the league.

7. Ferrarese (8): As first year captain, he drafted a fun, confident team full of speedy and powerful hitters. Ferrarese’s club is 4th in run differential and this is after getting blown out their first two games. Add them to the shortlist of Most Surprisingly Good Team of the Year. This team could make a huge jump in the rankings by winning Wednesday night and sweeping their double header this weekend.

8. Wallman (6): Wallman, Lapine, Schefkind are all close at this spot. All three teams are hovering around the .500 mark with just about an equal amount of runs scored and runs allowed,but Wallman gets the edge for having a stronger defense.
