Pre-Season Power Rankings (13/14)

Up until this point...

#16--Charlotte Orios
#15--Mid-Michigan Tigers

At number 14-----Flying Squirrels of Springfield

Above Average Categories---HR's
Below Average Categories---Avg, BB, R, SB, ERA, WHIP

Squirrels went young and went young early. Lawrie/Freeman/Trout would be a great haul if if was 2015...but it isn't. Wainwright needs to be 100% for this team to get out of the basement in their division. Marmol finding the plate on occasion wouldn't hurt either. Since I'm going to follow the Astro's a bit closer this year I'm hoping Martinez has a bit of a breakout year. Word has it that Robinson Cano has already asked to be traded to a contender.

At number 13-----San Antonio Fire Ants

Above Average Categories---Holds
Below Average Categories---BB, HR, R, K's, Saves

Projected to finish last in the Texas Division this Fire Ant team has less sting to it than actual fire ants. Sankey didn't have a lot to begin the Winter Meetings but some trades gave him some decent players. It cut down on his draft picks and the players he did draft, well let's just say it will be interesting to see who he contracts. It will be a long year for the Aint's having to face the rest of the Texas Division who I see as all being top 5 teams in the league this season. Don't worry though Keith I'll occasionally buy you a beer, which of course is a lot more than Berg will do.

Tomorrow, #11 and #12...
