Mikebr13
Best pitching staff in the league. Offense is pretty good too. Got 7 first place votes.

2
Montreal
60-26
Ssauve25
Earned 5 first place votes. This is Ted Simpsons world, plain and simple.

3
Florida
51-35
Tedwmoore
Ted earned 1 first place vote (and he didn’t vote for himself). Starters have 19 complete games, and 7 blown saves.

4
Minnesota
50-36
Thunderdonkey
A very balanced offense led by O’Brien and Bouche. Not afraid to run, and do often with 89 steals already.

5
Texas
49-37
Akgsports
Finally got going and went on amazing 11 game win streak to catch Tampa. Don’t expect a drop off. This team is great.

6
Detroit
50-36
Jdrake27
Nice to see this team living up to expectations. Pitching, Defense, and Offense are all clicking. Dangerous

7
Cleveland
45-41
Drichter
Plenty of teams with better records, but not many with as good of talent. Be ready to watch the Indians make a run.

8
ChiCubs
46-40
Littlejim
What a turnaround! This team had been mired in the muck, but with a few slick moves they are now a player in the NL.

9
Pittsburgh
49-37
Rookie30000
Always one of the best teams in the NL. Hated putting them so low, but 10 blow saves but still best offense in NL.

10
Tampa Bay
49-37
Dodgers
WHAT!?!? Young pitchers growing up fast, and defense behind them is pretty good. Looks like  Maddon led team…

11
NY Mets
47-39
Blanch13
The Mets have risen from the dead with great defense and pitching. NL should be very afraid of this team.

12
NY Yankees
44-42
Overeasy
Pitching not as good, and offense is a little off. Yet…here they are. Wait until this team gets hot.

13
Baltimore
43-43
Crabman
Maybe crabman was right…maybe I did overrate this team. Spent a lot of time leading the division before falling apart.

14
Philadelphia
46-40
Dillontt
Another team that felt overrated. Only six blown saves and a stellar pitching staff so far. Expect this team to contend.

15
Toronto
43-43
Rod33
Rod thought this was his best team yet. But they are only .500. Offense has been horrid.

16
San Diego
43-33
Sermonauthor
Looks like the best team in the NL West for the time being. Still one of the better pitching staffs in baseball.

17
St. Louis
41-45
Cyben5150
Had a great season last year just missing playoffs. Looks like they are taking a step back due to poor pitching.

18
Portland
40-46
Dakar
The famous Dakar has started the turnaround. They won’t challenge the A’s this year, but if they pitching gets better…

19
Atlanta
41-45
Bux_express
Imagine this team with offense. If they can get anyone to contribute they could sneak in, but there are a lot of good teams ahead of them.

20
Washington
40-46
Rigbystarr
Last place teams shouldn’t be this good.

21
LAD
40-46
Wvwc9092
This team should be MUCH better than they are showing. 13 blown saves might explain why they are not in first.

22
San Francisco
40-46
Tmantom3285
Finally the offense is better. If the defense and pitching can catch up this team could sneak in. It’s getting better on the Bay.

23
Boston
39-47
jclarkbaker
Good pitching, bad hitting. Time to summon JOBU!

24
Arizona
39-47
Beanpole
Offense is really clicking in the deser (405 runs), but the pitching staff is getting ROCKED.

25
Charlotte
37-49
Bignr
They finally made it to the playoffs, won 95 games…and then imploded. Offense is horrible, and Pedro can’t do it by himself.

26
ChiSox
39-47
Jnewfry
If the pitching gets better (404 runs allowed), the offense might just get this team out of last place.

27
Milwaukee
38-48
Bison8
Nothings Brewing in Milwaukee…

28
Houston
34-52
Dherz_263
There isn’t a starter with a positive hits to IP ratio. And none below 4.3 era. Long season.

29
Cincinnati
35-51
Sockless_Joe
Worst pitching staff in the league. By FAR. 518 runs allowed. How have they won 35 games? They can actually hit.

30
Kansas City
34-52
Hinz57
Still trying to clean up the mess in KC. Man, I feel sorry for Hinz…

31
Anaheim
33-53
Sweetness355
They need some Angels in the outfield…

32
Seattle
31-55

Blame it on rain, ya ya

  1. My official comment: "I find my offense highly offensive!" My unofficial comment: "I place the blame on my GM for hiring such a lousy Hitting Coach."
