One of the highlights of my week is reading si.com's Power Rankings.
This week's includes such nuggets as:
and
[editor's note: just for comparison's sake, take a look at how Willis compares with the Yankee's Tony Womack...
yeah, I don't understand either why Torre continues to write Womack's name on the lineup card]
I'll leave you with the bit about my favorite team:
c'mon, go read. you know you want to. It's always good for a chuckle!

This week's includes such nuggets as:
Rank 20. (LW 17)Ouch. They've given up 35 home runs in June, and their relief staff sports a major league-worst 6.01 ERA. Things are so bad that one of the pitchers they're reportedly interested in is the Yankees' Tanyon Sturtze, he of the 5.13 lifetime ERA. OK, OK, that is better.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Rank 12. (LW 16)
Dontrelle Willis is 12-3 with a 2.04 ERA, four complete games and three shutouts. But how about this one? He's hitting .250 (11-for-44), just three points fewer than what opposing batters are doing against him. And don't think that hasn't come up in the clubhouse.
| BA | OBP | SLG | OPS | |
| Tony Womack | .240 | .274 | .264 | .538 |
| Dontrelle Willis | .250 | .250 | .273 | .523 |

I'll leave you with the bit about my favorite team:
Rank 13. (LW 9)So far, they've had winning streaks of five, six and 10 games. They've also had losing streaks of six, four (three times) and three (twice) games. They're 0-26 when scoring fewer than four runs. And they're 4-12 against the Devil Rays, Royals and Brewers. We say it's all Tony Womack's fault.
New York Yankees
