[Team name / Current point total as of Monday morning (+/- from last week) / Snarky comment]
Instead of the “Power Rankings,” I thought it would be fun to take a look at one player from each of our teams having a ridiculous (either good or bad) season. Enjoy. Stats are as of Sunday, so Cliff […]

[Team name / Current point total as of Monday morning (+/- from last week) / Snarky comment]
1. Franklin Comes Alive (Chris Rosen) (me!) / 150 (+5.5): Confirming what I called three weeks ago, Carlos Zambrano’s arm injury is no longer hidden.

Normally we do the Power Rankings here, but we’d rather do the good ol’ “Who Are You Going to Keep?” post, especially now that the trading deadline has come and gone. So without further adieu:
1. Franklin Comes Alive (Chris […]

1. Franklin Comes Alive (Chris Rosen) (me!) / 144.5 (+4): Looking forward to anchoring my 2009 squad with Josh Hamilton and Kevin Youkilis off career years, and Dustin Pedroia and his sure to be 760 OPS.

[Team name / Current point total as of Monday morning (+/- from last week) / Snarky comment]
Why do I bother?
1. Made In The Dark (Justin) / 142 (+8.5): I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that ERA is the tiebreaker that Yahoo! uses to decide placing.

La Ruina Power Rankings: Week 15 (The All-Star Break)

July 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments
