It's hard to believe that the season is 3/4 of the way done, and that means another edition of the power rankings. Once again there is movement at the top, as 3 teams managed to leapfrog the entire top 7 to finish as the top 3. Interestingly enough, #1-7 from the last rankings placed #4-10 in this edition, in a slightly different order. The top 6 were extremely close in this edition, and it's hard to say that anyone of them stands out over the rest, but a top team must be named, and there is a yet another new #1 team. Struggling mightily in the 2nd quarter, falling under .500, things looked down for Tampa Bay, but you're never out of it when you have James Haselman and a great supporting cast. With the best record in the world over the last 40, and ranking amongst the top of the league in most major categories, Tampa Bay has jumped from #18 all the way up to #1. Also making impressive jumps were the league's top team in pitching, Buffalo, going from #10 to #2, and preseason #1 Vancouver is back in the game coming in at #3 up from #12. Here are the complete power ranking through three quarters of the season!
