Power Poll- All Star Edition

Here we are at the All Star break. It has been a very interesting season so far. The following power poll will have the familiar top ten and a brief run down of the remaining teams. The NL teams are starting to make their mark on the power rankings. One other thing added to the rankings, the second set of win-loss records, is the teams’ records since the last power poll. Here we go:

1. Durham Daddies (72-19) (28-6) (1), Duh!!

2. Vancouver Tuques (57-34) (25-9) (9), Up 7 spots on the strength of top ten pitching and top ten hitting.

3. Syracuse Saltine Warriors (59-32) (23-11) (3), One of only three teams to be in the top ten in both hitting and pitching.

4. Toledo Dirt Roosters (56-35) (22-12) (6), As good as this team is, how have they lost 35 games.

5. Washington 42’s (54-37) (21-13) (7), Teams above better watch out, this team is starting to come together.

6. Louisville Derbies (57-34) (18-16) (4), If their hitting wasn’t so good (4th), this teams pitching (16th) would be killing them. I see them continuing to fall, if changes aren’t made.

7. Ottawa Rocks, (50-41) (18-16) (8), This team is just hanging in there.

8. Portland Showers (53-38) (NA) (NR), The Showers make the list for the first time this year. They are behind Ottawa only because the Rocks have better hitting and pitching.

9. Charleston Chew (49-42) (13-21)(2), This team has the #2 pitching staff in the majors. The Chew will win their share of games on their pitching alone.

10. Columbus Crush (52-39) (16-18) (5), Hanging on with their hitting. The pitching staff is the biggest problem (18th). They’re worse then Louisville.
