Season 39 Quarter Season Power Rankings





Iowa City Johnsons
  Current: 1  Last: 5


Chick Schmidt has been excellent so far, with a 2.43 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 6 innings per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.
Montreal Stars
Current: 2  Last: 4

Gary Rhodes has been very good so far, with a 3.29 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 5 innings per appearance.   That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

Charlotte Charlatans
Current: 3  Last: 17


Raymond Kinney has been dynamite so far, with a 2.76 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 7 innings per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.



Fargo Marlboro Men
Current: 4  Last: 10

Mo' money!  Mo' money!  Mo' money!  That's what Fausto Villarreal is going to be looking for when he hits the market next off season.


Honolulu Jackwagons
 Current: 5  Last: 3

The city of Honolulu is Phat, Dawg!  But Yonder Benitez has been seen rolling around town in a Yugo.


Detroit Chippewas
 Current: 6  Last: 6


Greetings from Tacubaya, Mexico!  Where friends and family of Aramis Javier  are witnessing an incredible start.

Cincinnati
Cincinnati Dawgs
Current: 7  Last: 9

The Dawgs are certainly glad that Anthony Clark decided to put his Herbie Hancock on the dotted line.

Santa Fe Brooks
Current: 8  Last: 7

Greetings from Valdado, Cuba!  Where friends and family of Vicente  Vasquez are rooting him on to repeat as AL MVP.

  
Los Angeles Colemans
Current: 9  Last: 1

Greetings from Osaka, Japan!  Where friends and family of Seop Jiang are witnessing another legitimate run at an MVP Award.


Tacoma Tornadoes
Current: 10  Last: 13

Greetings from Moncion, Dominican Republic!  Where friends and family of Jair Jacquez are witnessing a fine follow up to his ROY season.


Tampa Bay Don Cesars
Current: 11  Last: 18

When drafted, Cam Franco had his heart set on playing Division I Hoops (even though he's 5'9").  He decided he was interested in signing a baseball contract after all.

Anaheim Arte Morenos
Current: 12  Last: 19

Kevin Hatteberg was afraid that he may upset team chemistry, but after talking with several teammates, he decided to sign.

Washington D.C. Senators
Current: 13  Last: 14

Rob Canseco looks to return to his slugging ways, after returning from a stint on the 15 day DL, [ribcage, strained.]  His makeup has had about as much to do with his rehab as DC's training department. Hope he can make a seamless transition back into his former role at the Big League Level.


Colorado Surf Riders III
Current: 14  Last: 12



Earl Schwartz has been excellent so far, with a 3.33 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 1 inning(s) per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

Jacksonville
Jacksonville Minutemen
Current: 15  Last: 25

Terry Bolling has been dynamite so far, with a 3.13 ERA and 1.18 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 6 innings per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

Texas
Texas Wildcats
Current: 16  Last: 15

I was going to make a Diamond in the Rough reference here, but I realized Ender Crespo wasn't a DITR, but a true steal in the 17th round.

Scranton Rail Riders
Current: 17  Last: 21

Scranton ran into a bit of a pickle when Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell was activated from the disabled list.  A pretty good player had to be sent down.


Philadelphia Phoenix
Current: 18  Last: 22

Greetings from Seoule, Korea!  Where friends and family of Takuya Wang are witnessing a Cy Young caliber season.



Las Vegas  Bookies

Current: 19  Last: 16

Sammy Elster has been very good so far, with a 4.08 ERA and 1.13 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 5 innings per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

 
Wichita Rocks
 Current: 20  Last: 2

We have some unfortunate news.  After averaging 101 wins over the past six seasons, the Rocks find themselves in last place, stemming from decreased baseball performance [hitting, pitching.]  Skeeter Nicholson is doing his part, however.

Syracuse Barking Spiders
Current: 21  Last: 26

Doyle Drew has been dynamite so far, with a 3.28 ERA and 0.97 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 1 inning(s) per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.


New York Blues

Current: 22  Last: 27


Ron Backe has been dynamite so far, with a 3.08 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 7 innings per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

Ottawa
Ottowa Dead Bunnies
Current: 23   Last: 32

Things aren't as bad as they seemed!  After finishing last season with 47 wins, the franchise is on pace for an increase of about 30, stemming from improved baseball skills  [hitting, pitching,] led by slugger Jerry Winchester.

Boston

Boston Braves
Current: 24  Last: 23

Hoss Renfroe has been excellent so far, with a 2.66 ERA and 1.01 WHIP, and has been averaging just under 1 inning(s) per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.


Richmond Confederates
Current: 25  Last: 8

Manny Iwakazi has been excellent so far, with a 2.27 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 6 innings per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

Durham Bulls
Current: 26  Last: 24

Manny Stuart has been dynamite so far, with a 1.31 ERA and 0.79 WHIP, and has been averaging just over 1 inning(s) per appearance.  That's all I've got at this point.  I'll keep you updated as the season continues.

Pittsburgh Parrott Heads
Current: 27  Last: 20

Fausto Torres here.  The other coaches and I believe  Nate Lanier could use a position change. Oh, by the way, have you ordered me the Tom Emanski fielding video yet?

San Francisco Lockdown
Current: 28  Last: 29

San Francisco Blowdown

New York
New York Bombers
Current: 29  Last: 31

New York Stink Bombers

Trenton Thunder
Current: 30  Last: 28

Trenton Blunder

Milwaukee
Milwaukee and Peele
Current: 31  Last: 11

I hope you're sitting down for this one.  After winning the title two seasons ago, the franchise is in last place.  Malcom Barker  joins a crop of excellent young catchers in the World.
