MLB Power Poll 28 April 2008

Attendance was light in this week’s power poll forum, but we were able to reach a quorum.

The Top Five

1. Arizona Diamondbacks (18-7) Brandon Webb is already 6-0 and it’s not even May yet.

2. Chicago Cubs (16-9) All seven players with more than 70 at bats have higher than a .382 OBP.

3. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (16-10) Who is Casey Kotchman all of a sudden?

4. Oakland Athletics (16-10) Michael Lewis is already writing his next book about how Billy Beane is smarter than you.

5. Boston Red Sox (15-12) Five losses in a row and still squeaking in.

The Bottom Five

26. Cincinatti Reds (11-15) Good thing they are in the hands of an astute baseball mind like Dusty Baker at the helm.

27. Colorado Rockies (10-15) Duh Duh Duh Duh DuhDuhDuhDuh Tu Low! (.470 OPS)

28. Pittsburgh Pirates (10-15) How is that Matt Morris trade working out?

29. Kansas City Royals (11-14) It’s in DeJesus’ hands.

30. Washington Nationals (9-17) Five regulars with a sub-.700 OPS
