Buster Olney's MLB Power Rankings

[$500 Million]

He just can't keep the East Coast bias out of it. Unfortunate. The Yankees are a better team than the Giants? Hellz no.

The Giants have a slightly better offense than the Yankees. Statistically, the Yankees have a better starting rotation and bullpen right now.

So, while it's debatable, it's certainly not a hellz no.

not REALLY.

Week of 5/19. Discuss.

Wow, NL Central well-represented. Two things: I'm glad he finally recognizes the Giants fragile rotation and the Pirates are not the 10th best team in baseball. Too high. I'd put Baltimore or KC at #10.

A question though: Is he ranking these based on the season or just last week?

I have heard a LOT over the last 3 years that the teams in the post season are not necessarily the best teams in the league. Are you saying this is not the case?

What the Fuck? Are you retarted? I don't give a Fuck what you've heard a lot of over the years. Does that have anything to do with me? No. And if you've been talking to people who think the teams that make the playoffs aren't the best teams, than your friends are fucking idiots. Of coarse there will be outliers time to time but overall, the best teams make it.

And to the poster that said the sox were a bad team past year. No shit Sherlock. This is 13 not 12. And these are power rankings. The sox deserve a spot in in the top 10 becUse they are one of the ten best teams in MLB. Ur a fucking idiot or straight up retarted if you don't think that.

Also, I'm aware the season doesn't end today. Hence, why I said in my original post, that important fucking word. IF. Ok? Get it now you mongoloid? The red sox are one of the best teams in MLB. Top 5. Get over it you faggot city slicki.g hicks farm boy retard hipsters.

Olney is increasingly basing his rankings on season record. Does anyone really believe that the Pirates would win a 7-game series with the Giants?

 

[CaptO]

Great seeing the Tribe in the top 10 (& pretty much on par with our foe)

Obviously a lot can change between now and October. Still, if you line the two teams up against one another right now, it's pretty easy to see that Pittsburgh's starting rotation and bullpen is outplaying Frisco's. And quality pitching is where it's at once the post-season roles around.

I'm being optimistic because of how well the Bucs have been playing, so to answer your question... Yes, I think the Pirates as currently constructed could beat the Giants in a seven game series.

They just took three of four from the Tigers, and shut out one of the top lineups in baseball in two of those three wins.
