Season 25 Preseason Power Rankings

OK, we're a little bit into Season 25, so these are late; however, these rankings were based on Opening Day rosters, the results just weren't tallied until now.  So, here we go!

Coming in on top is a bold choice, a first time #1, and it's Boise!  The 95 game winners last season have always had a great offense and it appears their Starting Pitching looks very good, so they earn the top spot in our rankings.  At #2, we have the top rated hitting squad, Charlotte, who also has very good pitching.  The top rated team in Starting Pitching, Pawtucket comes in at #3.  Rounding out the top 5 are Helena and Chicago.  At 6 and 7 are last season's top regular season team, Little Rock and the World Series champs, Richmond.

For those that have higher than expected rankings, good luck living up to the hype, and for those that are pinning these up as bulletin board material, I hope you prove me wrong!

Here are the complete rankings, good luck to all in Season 25!
