MLB Power Rankings Roundup for May 19 2006

The various sites in our rankings survey publish their lists at different times throughout the week. That should be noted because Sportsline put the Phillies at #2 three days ago. That’s exactly when the Phils went on a 3 game slide. So Sportsline gets a pass this week.

Meanwhile, the A’s and Padres are the odd ducks in the top 10 this week, making only one list each. It’s hard to argue against the Padres who are playing tremendous ball but the As are only 5-5 in their last ten. Maybe ESPN is letting Stephen A Smith do the baseball power rankings now.
