Updated MLB Power Poll

I was meaning to update the baseball power poll but have not had the time to write it until now. Baseball is also a sport where early success does not necessarily equal instant playoff appearances. So without further ado here is my feeling on how the power in MLB goes:

# TEAM NAME (Record) (Previous Rank)

1. Philadelphia Phillies (25-13) (2)
2. Cleveland Indians (24-13) (22)
3. Florida Marlins (23-15) (12)
4. San Francisco Giants (22-17) (3)
5. Tampa Bay Rays (23-16) (16)
6. Cincinnati Reds (22-17) (7)
7. Atlanta Braves (22-19) (5)
8. St Lous Cardinals (22-18) (14)
9. New York Yankees (20-17) (4)
10. Detroit Tigers (22-18) (10)
11. Boston Red Sox (19-20) (1)
12. Los Angeles Angels (22-18) (17)
13. Colorado Rockies (20-17) (9)
14. {tie} Oakland A's (20-19) (15)
14. {tie}. Texas Rangers (20-19) (8)
16. Kansas City Royals (20-19) (30)
17. Toronto Blue Jays (19-20) (23)
18. Milwaukee Brewers (18-21) (13)
19. Baltimore Orioles (18-20) (20)
20. Los Angeles Dodgers (19-21) (18)
21. Washington Nationals (18-21) (24)
22. Pittsburgh Pirates (18-21) (28)
23. Chicago White Sox (16-24) (11)
24. New York Mets (18-21) (27)
25. Chicago Cubs (17-21) (21)
26. Arizona Diamondbacks (16-22) (25)
27. San Diego Padres (16-23) (19)
28. Houston Astros (15-24) (26)
29. Seattle Mariners (16-23) (29)
30. Minnesota Twins (12-25) (6)

What is more surprising? The great start by the Indians or the bad start from the Twins?

I think I reversed the fortunes for both those teams by posting that previous comment. Hehe.
