MLB Power Rankings, Week 18

1) Los Angeles Angels: No question about it. They're dominating both on the road and at home. The bullpen is getting the job done for the Halos.

2) New York Mets: A month ago, this team was nowhere near the front-half of this list. Manuel has sparked this team.

3) Milwaukee Brewers: The addition of CC is looking to be the trade of the year. 

4) Boston Red Sox: They might be struggling, compared to their standards, but they're the Red Sox.

5) Chicago White Sox: Yes, the South Side team has overtaken the North Side. Quentin is making a strong push for MVP.

6) Chicago Cubs: The Cubs have won three out of their last seven games. And, with a series coming up against the Brewers, the situation doesn't look too good for the Cubbies.

7) Tampa Bay Rays: They are still ahead of the Sox.

8) New York Yankees: They're on FIRE! Cano can't be stopped, but A-Rod needs to step it up.

9) Philadelphia Phillies: Can they beat the Mets? Do they have pitching?

10) Minnesota Twins: The American League's quiet team.

11) Florida Marlins: The National League's quiet team.

12) Texas Rangers: Terrible defense, terrible pitching, top offense.

13) Detroit Tigers: The most overhyped preseason team. But why not?

14) St. Louis Cardinals: Could possibly make the postseason.

15) Toronto Blue Jays: Average offense, defense, and fielding.

16) Arizona Diamondbacks: Just swept the Giants. Look out, World Series.

17) Oakland A's: Falling apart.

18) Atlanta Braves: Jair Jurrjens.

19) Los Angeles Dodgers: Russell Martin is hitting .260 since June.

20) Cincinnati Reds: Arroyo has an ERA over 5.00. Jr. is struggling, and so is everyone on that team.

21) Baltimore Orioles: No pitching.

22) Colorado Rockies: They have a shot if they get hot like last season.

23) Cleveland Indians: 2009 season = rebuilding season.

24) Houston Astros: The only reason they aren't 30th is because of Miguel and Berkman.

25) San Francisco Giants: They're young. Just give 'em a few years.

26) Pittsburgh Pirates: Why did they trade Nady and Marte?

27) Seattle Mariners: By far the biggest disappointment.

28) Kansas City Royals: Sign Tony Peña Jr. up. He did better than any of their pitchers.

29) Washington Nationals: New stadium—a waste of billions of dollars. No real All-Stars—a waste of a team. Having no fan support—priceless!

30) San Diego Padres: What can I say? No one is hitting or pitching. Peavy is having an off-season and Hoffman should retire.
