Shark Index Power Rankings - Season 19 Week 2

Here are the Sharkey's World Power Rankings for Week 2 of Season 19. With the exception of some perennial powerhouses that have started slow (and will most likely steer their ships back on course), not much change since the last power rankings in week 7 of last season (meant to run the numbers for the end of last season, but erred slightly).

For those who are unaware of the old Shark Index formula, it takes the team's win percentage and adds it to the difference between team OPS and OPS allowed [Win PCT + (OPS - Opp OPS)].

Shark Index Power Rankings - Season 18 Week 5

Here are the Sharkey's World Power Rankings for Week 5. Lots of volatility in the rankings, though two of the top three teams that moved up the most in the rankings, St. Louis (+13) and Memphis (+12), played a vastly fatigued New Orleans team (who now finds it's Index number in the negative). The third team, Cleveland (+8), enjoyed a 15-3 run during the week.

Not too much change in the top 10, with the exception of Kansas City breaking the lock the NL West had on the Top 3.

Sumthin' Diff'rent

So a healthy blog makes for a more interesting world, so here's my attempt at contributing. I don't have anything earth-shattering, but I saw something that I thought was interesting and wanted to share with the group. Maybe this will be a regular column for the blog. Or maybe it's just filler space. Who knows.

Anyway, I had the #31 pick in the amateur draft this season. Obviously you don't expect a star at that spot, so I was perfectly content to land this pitcher:

Gabe Fraser Monterrey Cervezas Age: 21 B/T: R/R Born: Coamo, PR Position(s): P (SP4) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

My scouting report indicated that Gabe, "May sign if the deal is right. If not, he'll head back to college for his senior season."

Shark Index Power Rankings - Season 18 Week 4

Here are the Sharkey's World Power Rankings for Week 4. For those who are unaware of the old Shark Index formula, it takes the team's win percentage and adds it to the difference between team OPS and OPS allowed [Win PCT + (OPS - Opp OPS)]. Rankings from last season are in parenthesis.

I'll be hopefully editing this on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Enjoy.
