2011 FGM Power Rankings

[VolsRaysBucs]

Hey Rob get in line if you are going to complain about injuries, my season was over in week two.

Doubt I've had the volume of injuries/ under-performance, but I've had some terrible luck myself.  Longo out for a month in game #2, Hanley underperforms.  I then trade for Posey, who goes out for the year, Hanley goes on DL and Longo can't hit water falling out of a boat...same boat as HanRam now that I think of it.  Add injuries to Neimann, Ohlendorf and Talbot and you have a recipe for non-contention.  On the bright side, I have Posey and Longoria locked up for a LOOONG time.

22) - (45-27) [73.17%/C/C] - Twins are 18 games above .500 and they decide to sell… astonishing. 

i was having a bad week and a couple players got hurt. i felt i just didnt have enough money or prospects to trade to get past the royals

Here is my view of tiers of teams based on their ability to compete... different than the Power Rankings.

Championship Tier - Teams racing to win division
NL -
AL -

Competing Tier - Teams likely to be competing for division and wildcard but not to the level of the top tier
NL -
AL -

Average Tier - Teams that will hover around .500
NL -
AL -

Bottom Tier - Teams that are selling or should sell
NL -
AL -

My issues were not near what the Reds went through.  What you went through wasn't fair to any GM.  Just discussing my down month, so far.

FYI... 7) - (61-11) [88.24%/C+/A] - Phillies are 27-5 over the past month (-5)

It looks bad that they have been so good, and hold the best record, but are 7th in the rankings.  It is based on an evaluation of their current staff and production... hence why the 29-loss Yankees are ranked so high.

Its funny too because I feel like my lineup is way better now.  I feel I have much more balance than before.  All I care about is winning at the end of the year.

Week 10 Power Rankings
5) - (55-17) [89.43%/B+/A-] - A's a humble 20-12 over past month (-4)

Injuries are humbling.  JJ, Liriano, Ross, Litsch, Niemann from my SP and Ike from my lineup.  A benched Ike being upgraded to Rasmus and Headley should help.  Starting to get the arms trickling back in as well.  Looking forward to strong finish to the month.
