We're half way through Season 23, and it is time to weigh in with another edition of the power rankings. It has been quite an interesting season, with no clear cut #1 team, yet someone has to take that top spot, and it is Dover. Although not a dominant #1 as in the past few seasons, they have been playing solid ball lately and are leading the way in the NL. Atlanta drops to #2, as they have fallen off slightly since the last rankings, but still a force to be reckoned with. The hottest team in the world, Charlotte, comes in at #3 and if they keep this up, could be headed to the top spot in the next rankings. It will certainly be interesting to see how it all plays out, here are the complete rankings!
