"The problem with ranking every team 1 to 30 is one of degree. As we near the quarter-pole, both leagues look top-heavy. Only six American League teams own a positive run differential, and five of them reside in the AL East (none in the AL Central). The National League features a handful of legitimate pennant contenders, followed by a big batch of suspect-to-awful teams. This week's rankings might tell us more if we could jump from, say, nine to 12, or 21 to 26. Until the bosses allow Fibonacci-style rankings, we'll search for clarity with what we have. It's Week 6 of The 30."
