Yes, its back, by popular demand.
The MLB Power Rankings were calculated using the same formula as the previous two years.
For those that are new to the league, or require refreshing on the formula/criteria for providing these power rankings, here it is-
We have used the following points allocation-
Batting - maximum of 40 points
Starting line-up players (as we see them, not necessarily as published on fantrax) were each rated out of 4 point each.
Bench batting was rated as a total out of 8, based on the number of positions that could be covered, and the quality of the coverage.
Pitching - maximum of 40 points
Best 5 starting pitchers (as we see them) were each rated out of 4 points each
Likelihood to receive enough saves to win category most weeks was rated out of 10 points.
Likelihood to receive enough holds to win category most weeks was rated out of 10 points.
The shortcomings of this measure was it disregarded any starting pitchers outside of the top 5 for each team. Although it could be argued that starting pitchers numbers 6,7,8, etc may hurt in terms of ERA and WHIP, but would certainly help in the counting stats of strike-out and wins.
The way I will list the results is the total points out of 80, then the batting + the pitching scores (both out of 40 points).
Hitting + Pitching = Total
Rockies 37 + 36 = 73
Rangers 34 + 33 = 67
Cubs 31 + 35 = 66
Padres 31 + 32 = 63
Reds 31 + 31 = 62
Nationals 31 + 28 = 59
Angels 31 + 25 = 56
Brewers 34 + 22 = 56
Tigers 34 + 21 = 55
Rays 25 + 30 = 55
Twins 33 + 21 = 54
Braves 30 + 24 = 54
Orioles 30 + 23 = 53
Blue Jays 27 + 26 = 53
Astros 26 + 25 = 51
Indians 26 + 22 = 48
Yankees 25 + 23 = 48
White Sox 30 + 15 = 45
Giants 29 + 16 = 45
Mets 25 + 19 = 44
Phillies 22 + 21 = 43
Cardinals 23 + 16 = 39
Dodgers 20 + 18 = 38
Pirates 22 + 16 = 38
Red Sox 20 + 16 = 36
Marlins 25 + 10 = 35
Athletics 19 + 16 = 35
Diamondbacks 18 + 15 = 33
Mariners 20 + 9 = 29
Royals = 14 + 14 = 28
Please note that these ranking were based on the teams rosters in Fantrax as at March 10th, and didn't and therefore didn't include any pending trades at this point in time.
Please feel free to make comments, or even complete your own power ranking so we can compare results.
