I've spent most of the morning trying to refresh my set of MLB fantasy baseball power rankings. Of course, even a casual baseball fan could skip ahead to the obvious conclusion.
Imagine all 30 clubs are playing in their own 5x5 roto league. The Rays demolish almost every category. Tampa Bay currently slots first in runs scored, homers, RBI and batting average. The pitching staff has the most wins, the best ERA and the tidiest WHIP.
Tampa Bay's only lacking categories are saves — that's what happens when you win big so often — and strikeouts. They're 17th in handshakes, 20th in whiffs. Otherwise, this is a steamroller. There's no guesswork with the No. 2 team either, the Atlanta Braves. Tampa Bay has a big lead over Atlanta, but the Braves are comfortably ahead of everyone else. The Braves have the second-best offense and the third-best staff. They're filling out our fantasy rosters nicely.
Let's jump into the commentary portion of the show. Here's how I rank all the teams for their fantasy utility, starting with the least-useful team and moving down to the juggernauts. I've considered stats and team ranks, but there's also some special sauce in the mix.30. Oakland Athletics First the good news: The A's rank second in steals and they're middle of the pack in home runs, Category juice is always welcome. But they're bottom-five in every other category, and dead last in four of the pitching categories. Slugging outfielderhas been a find off the waiver wire, a classic out-of-nowhere late bloomer. But Oakland baseball remains the saddest song in MLB.The Nats were profiled as the worst team in the NL back in March and so far they've fit the suit.
