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.
