Season 13 Power Rankings # 1

We're a quarter of the way into Season 13 already, and it's time for the first power rankings of the season.  These rankings were a bit more difficult, due to owner neglect in Dover skewing some of the stats.  Luckily we got a quality replacement for that owner, and it shouldn't be an issue going forward.  What wasn't difficult was identifying the top team, Oklahoma City remains #1 with the top record thanks to lights out pitching and steady offense.  Arizona and Buffalo round out the top 3, with Tampa Bay and Seattle right behind them.  Here are the complete rankings!

1 Oklahoma City 30 11 1 Looking very strong, living up to preseason hype
2 Arizona 26 15 6 Well balanced team that is playing well so far
3 Buffalo  22 19 4 Putting up their usual strong numbers, pitching is great
4 Tampa Bay 23 18 7 Solid pitching and the offense is producing some
5 Seattle 27 14 18 Offense is surprising, even minus the games vs. Dover
6 Charleston 23 18 19 Pitching is very good so far, nice start to the season
7 Toronto 25 16 20 Looking good so far, we'll see if the pitching holds up
8 Texas  27 14 14 Great start, but not sure about the pitching staff here
9 Chicago (AL) 22 19 9 Holding steady, pitching is rough, but bats are good
10 Honolulu 24 17 10 Nice start, but need more offense to hang with NL's best
11 Rochester 22 19 12 Pitching has been outstanding, offense holding its own
12 Cincinnati 22 19 8 Pitching not great so far, so they fall some
