NL WEST power rankings

[Former Angels GM (Mike C.)]

Pre Season

1. Dodgers
2. Rockies
3. Padres
4. Dbacks
5. Giants

Hard to place the defending league champ 3rd in the division but thats the way I see it right now. The Dodgers go 1 here over the Rockies on the strength of the pitching. I really think the Rockies could win this thing though. That being said dont sleep on the padres either. The diamondbacks have started in the right direction and the Giants just dont quite have enough right now.

Offensive MVP- Mike Trout Rockies
Pitching MVP- Justin Verlander Dodgers
ROY-Wil Myers Rockies

Not a bad pre season shot again. Dismissing the Padres value team as easy as the PreSeason pole did really cost the preseason rankings. The Padres have proven they understand how the system in place for this league as worked for years and really masted the rules that have been followed. The Padres just keep producing a quality product for a very reasonable price. The Rockies are still looking like they will be thin air happy for quite a few upcoming seasons as long as their pitchers don't feel the effects of the air.

offensive MVP - Trout still in the lead almost hands down, but candidates from each team would include:
LeCroy, Soriano(with a late push), Upton, Encarnacion

cy young - no chance Verlander has a shot at it. Going with the easy pick cost him. Candidates are:
Clippard, Kuroda, Grienke, Brothers, Cole (late push), Robertson, Ballfour

ROY- Cole, Ramos, Myers (in lead, much to my chagrine), Rusin, Wilson
