2. Rockies (14-7 -1) The Rocks slipped slightly after being in the top spot last week, Tulo is heating up and Colorado may have a good grasp of the West division.
3. Rangers (14-7 +3) Adrian Beltre has been a phenomenal signing and has really offset Hamilton's absence.
4. Indians (13-8 -2) The Tribe have been really sparked by Sizemore's return. They seem to be holding up, they may need to add a pitcher or too if they keep this thing going.
5. Yankees (12-6 +3) The Bronx Bomber's have gotten surprising contributions from Russell Martin early on, not that they needed the help with that middle of the order they have.
6. Marlins (13-7 +4) Marlins have arguably gotten the best pitching of any team thus far,Josh Johnson might be the best pitcher in the National league this season.
7. Angels (12-10 -3) Got pummeled by Boston all weekend, but still boast a great 1-2 punch in the starting rotation with Weaver and Haren, who are a combined a 9-1.
8. Cardinals (12-10 +5) First in the league in team runs and average, and Lance Berkman, not Albert Pujols is the man behind most of the damage. But Albert is getting warmer.
9. Tigers (12-10 +14) The Tigers have been playing considerably better, and Miguel Cabrera keeps proving his worth as he continues to keep the numbers up.
10. Royals (12-10 -3) Pitching has been so so, but the offense is right up there with the best, Francoeur and Melky Cabrera have been really nice additions.
11. Dodgers (12-11 +9) One of the most prominent and iconic sport franchises in America is under fire. The situation is messy, and one you wouldn't expect from this organization.Through it all, they've played well.
12. Reds (11-11 -7) Reds went through a rough week, highlighted by Mike Leake stealing $60 worth of shirts at Macy's? Come on Dude.
13. Rays (11-11 +12) It seems Tampa has righted the ship and leaped into the top half of the rankings. Pitching is the key component, and Crawford's replacement,Sam Fuld has carried the offense.
14. Giants (10-11 -5) As it always seems, the Giants offense is considerably behind their pitching, took one on the chin by Atlanta this weekend.
15. Brewers (11-10 even) Braun and Fielder are in a team MVP race against each other, good move on locking up Braun, the guy can hit.
16. A's (11-11 -4) The number 1 team in baseball in Team ERA. They remind me of last year's San Francisco team.
17. Red Sox (10-11 +12) Boston has finally started to play BETTER baseball, still not quite playing good baseball. Can't figure out what is up with Carl Crawford, .171 average?
18. Braves (11-12 +3) The Braves are playing well coming off a sweep of the Giants, still need to score more runs. Looks like the East has another tough customer in the Marlins.
19. Twins (9-12 +8) This team misses Joe Maurer, they need to maintain somehow, but they are next tolast in the league in runs scored.
20. Nationals (10-10 -9) They have gotten consistent starts, but the Bullpen has been suspect. Still awaiting the season debut of Ryan Zimmerman. Him and Werth will look good batting 3-4.
21. Cubs (10-11 +1) Cubbies can hit, but haven't been able to pitch. The Wrigley faithful will start to groan if the pitching doesn't improve.
22. Pirates (9-12 -3) Bucs struggling offense needs to get on track, Franchise players Alvarez and McCutchen have been slumping.
23. Blue Jays (9-12 -9) It takes a Pirate fan to really know where Jose Bautista is coming from. 7 Homers already, it is unbelievable.
24. Mets (9-13 +2) Offense has looked more than solid, Reyes,Beltran, Davis all off to great starts, but really need their ace, Johan Santana to return.
25. Orioles (8-12 -7) The fighting Showalter's have won 2 of their past 13. In that division, that can be one nail in the coffin, even in April.
26. White Sox (8-14 -9) Sox were in the midst of winning only 1 game of their past 12. Big off season signing, Dunn has been nonexistent thus far.
27. Diamondbacks (8-12 -3) Haven't been giving their pitchers enough run support, don't see the Snakes being a factor this year anyway.
28. Mariners (8-15 +2) M's aren't going to be able to contend in this division, plan and simple. Shame Ichiro plays all the way out there, under appreciated in my opinion.
29. Astros (8-14 -1) Houston has been hovering down here all year long, 28th in Team ERA will do that for you.
30. Padres (8-14 -13) Where's Adrian Gonzalaz when you need him? Worst offense in Baseball, and it shows.
WAY way way way too early Cy Young Picks...NL-Roy Halladay Phillies AL-Jered Weaver Angels
Way way way way too early MVP Picks....NL-Prince Fielder Brewers AL-Alex Rodriguez Yankees
