1- Little Rock Mockingbirds (42-20)- As expected, Little Rock has responded to last season's crushing disappointment. The team boasts above average fielding, the 2nd best offense in the NL, and the best pitching staff in the league.
2- Washington Generals (41-20)- Washington is out to prove last season was no fluke. So far, so good. They have basically clinched the division already, as the other three teams in the NL East are varying degrees of train wrecks.
3- St. Louis Redbirds (40-21)- The Redbirds boast the lowest team ERA in the AL, despite losing Carter Maybin and Lonnie Sanchez the last two seasons. Phil Leonard looks like he may be on his way to a 3rd career Cy Young award, currently 8-2 with a 2.39 ERA.
4- Kansas City T-Bones (38-24)- The KC offense is a juggernaut. The top three players in the AL in runs created are Junior Chang, AJ Cone and Tyler Posey. They are hitting a combined .360 with 25 HR, 69 2B and 157 RBI. The T-Bones lead the AL in runs scored, AVG, SLG and OBP.
5- San Diego Wiley Coyotes (37-24)- This seasons' Coyotes are a more balanced team. Though excelling in neither, the team has both above average pitching and offense. They are one of the poorest fielding teams in the NL though. Oh, and in case you forgot, Pepe Sosa is still really, really good.
6- Houston Buushwackerz (37-24)- For the second straight season, the Buushwackerz are one of the top teams in the AL. They rank 3rd in the AL in runs scored. Ed Porcello is pacing the offense hitting .325 with 15 HR and 56 RBI.
7- Norfolk Whiskey Jacks (34-25)- The Jacks are succeeding due to having the 2nd most prolific runs scoring team in the AL and despite an inconsistent pitching staff with a team ERA of 4.60.
8- Charlotte Dukies (36-25)- The 3rd best team ERA in the AL, combined with an above average offense make the Dukies a potent squad. Frank Huang and Teddy Valent are a combined 14-6 with an ERA of 3.65.
9- New Orleans Jazz (36-25)- Similar to the Dukies, the Jazz have the 4th best ERA in the AL and an above average offense. Kordell Russell is having a breakout season. In addition to stellar defense (10 + plays) he is hitting .312 with 13 HR and 41 RBI.
10- Minnesota Target (32-29)- The Target are on pace for their best record in 14 seasons. It will be tough for them to make the playoff though, as the top of the AL is very tough. Matty Romano has been very good on the hill, with a 1.60 ERA in his 56 innings.
11- New York Mets (32-29)
12- Richmond Rebellion (32-30)
13- Oakland Athletics (31-30)
14- Los Angeles White Sox (31-30)
15- Iowa City Badgers (31-31)
16- Philadelphia Stomp (31-31)
17- Detroit Immortals (30-31)
18- Atlanta Soda Poppers (30-32)
19- Durham Swamp Hogs (30-32)
20- Monterrey Gringos (29-32)
