2012 MLB Power Rankings - preseason

This is my first MLB power rankings of the year.  Let me cut right through the chase and start with my #1...

#1. Houston Astros - WHAT?  Am I crazy.  Do I know anything about baseball?  Read on to see the rest of the list and my simple explanation of why they are worthy of the top spot



#1. Angels
#1. Arizona
#1. Atlanta
#1. Baltimore
#1. Boston
#1. Cincinnati
#1. Cleveland
#1. Colorado
#1. Cubs
#1. Detroit
#1. Dodgers
#1. Florida
#1. Kansas City
#1. Mets
#1. Milwaukee
#1. Minnesota
#1. Oakland
#1. Philadelphia
#1. Pittsburgh

#1. Seattle
#1. St. Louis
#1. Tampa Bay
#1. Texas
#1. Toronto
#1. Washington
#1. White Sox
#1. Yankees

Yes, I have 30 teams tied for the #1 ranking.  I did this for 2 reasons.
1) No matter who ends up winning the World Series, I can point back to this post and gloat about how I had ranked them #1 prior to the season
2) More seriously, last year I had 3 different sets of rankings before the season even started.  Teams hadn't finished making roster moves and spring training battles hadn't been fought yet and I was trying to predict what would happen.  For the most part I did a poor job at that early stage.

To reduce the chance of a that reoccuring, I will wait until Opening Day for my first real set of power rankings.

Anyhow, for fun here are the rankings from last year:
January
February
March
Opening Day predictions
