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

Earned 5 first place votes. This is Ted Simpsons
world, plain and simple.

Tedwmoore

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

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

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

Nice to see this team living up to expectations.
Pitching, Defense, and Offense are all clicking. Dangerous

Plenty of teams with better records, but not many
with as good of talent. Be ready to watch the Indians make a run.

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.
|

Pittsburgh

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.
|
|

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

NY Mets

|
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.
|

Baltimore

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

Philadelphia

Dillontt
|
Another team that felt overrated. Only six blown
saves and a stellar pitching staff so far. Expect this team to contend.
|

|
Rod33
|
Rod thought this was his best team yet. But they
are only .500. Offense has been horrid.
|
|

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.
|

St. Louis

Cyben5150

Had a great season last year just missing
playoffs. Looks like they are taking a step back due to poor pitching.
|

Portland

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

Atlanta

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.

Last place teams shouldn’t be this good.

This team should be MUCH better than they are
showing. 13 blown saves might explain why they are not in first.
|

San Francisco

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.

Good pitching, bad hitting. Time to summon JOBU!

Beanpole

Offense is really clicking in the deser (405
runs), but the pitching staff is getting ROCKED.
|
|

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.
|
|

ChiSox
|

If the pitching gets better (404 runs allowed),
the offense might just get this team out of last place.

There isn’t a starter with a positive hits to IP
ratio. And none below 4.3 era. Long season.
|

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.

Still trying to clean up the mess in KC. Man, I
feel sorry for Hinz…

They need some Angels in the outfield…
