MLB Power Rankings: Time to Accept Reality
By David Hill
Previous: 28th. Atlanta Braves. 25. team. 17. Yes, SunTrust Park is likely a beautiful venue. However, for as nice as the ballpark is, the biggest draw may be their beer garden. After all, who wouldn’t want to try Chopsecutioner, the beer brewed with pieces of baseball bats?.
. Previous: 26th. Chicago White Sox. 24. team. 128. While the All Garcia outfield from the other day was fun, let us give some love to Matt Davidson. Thus far, he leads the team with three homers and ten RBI, while producing a .370/.379/.815 batting line. He won’t keep that pace for the season, but he may finally be tapping into his potential.
76. Yes, it is just two weeks, but Eric Thames has not missed a beat thus far. After destroying the KBO, he has hammered MLB pitching with the same ease. His breakout performance over the past weekend, with five homers against the Reds, was truly remarkable.. . Previous: 29th. Milwaukee Brewers. 23. team
. Previous: 9th. Toronto Blue Jays. 22. team. 39. It’s one thing to have a bad start to the season. It’s another when a team appears to be playing in a daze through the first two weeks. Right now, the Blue Jays are a disaster, and it is unclear as to what is going wrong. Do they miss Edwin Encarnacion’s bat in the lineup that much?
St. Louis Cardinals. 21. team. 33. Watch out – Carlos Martinez just threw another ball into the next zip code! Eight walks and an errant throw on Saturday led to his downfall, as the wheels are starting to come off of the Cardinals. Could they be looking to rebuild in the next couple of months?. .
