June 22 2007 MLB Power Rankings Roundup

It’s all about the Angels as Casey Kotchman leads them into the top spot in 3 out of the 6 sites we poll. If they can put together some wins in the next week, they will might sway the vote and take over first place by themselves. The Yankees also made some moves in a few polls but after being swept by the Rockies, expect them to fall a little next week.

Here are your MLB Power Rankings for this week:

Here’s a completely biased question: Why aren’t the Phillies getting more love from the writers of the Power Rankings? The A’s, the Mariners and the Diamondbacks are getting plenty of love. Why not the Phils? Just asking.
