The 1st Installment of Bluedude Sportstalk MLB Power rankings which is a Semi-Monthly Deal with the top ten teams in the Show. There are only ten teams that make Winning Time and four of them have to go through a One-Game Playoff.

The Boston Red Sox are cruising in the what was suppose to be a top-heavy AL East and the O's are surging with the Bronx Bombers hanging tough. The AL Central is led by the Detroit Tigers an who else but looks whose hanging in there and it is no fluke...the K.C. Royals have finally arrived. The AL West was suppose to be Halos and Swingin' A's and it has been nothing but the Yu Darvish and Rangers Show.

The Redbirds of Baseball Town USA lead the NL Central followed closely by the Buccos who started fast last year and started to spin their wheels come Mid-Summers Classic. The Braves are just ahead of the Nats but HOTlanta has been COOLanta for the past three weeks as they started 13-3. The Rockies have everyone surprised but themselves as they lead the top-heavy NL West.

The 2013 Top Ten May Power through May 7, 2013 in the Show:

1. #CARMINES (21-12) 1st AL East: They are doing it with Starters Buchholz and Lester along with a Hot back Stop in Napoli and a 27 game hit streak from Big Papi Ortiz.

2. #MotorCityTIGERS (19-11) 1st AL Central: Led by of course "Justin of Comerica" and Miggy (.385) and Prince (.304) the Tigers are once again out the gates and what a pick Up in Ex-Halos OF Torii Hunter (.361) back in the AL Central doing major damage at the Dish

3. #REDBIRDS (20-12) 1st NL Central: The Cards are playing well led by the Duo on the Hill of Wainright and Lynn with Boppers Holliday, Beltran, and Jay.

4. #RANGERS (20-13) 1st in AL West: The Rangers had a great month of April and have cooled off a little but RHP and Ace and Yu Darvish (5-1) with a Show leading 72 Ks has been dealing from Start One.

5. #O's (20-13) 2nd AL East: The Yankees will turn it into a 3-Team Race but the O's I have a feeling will turn on the afterburners here soon and they have an Elite Closer in Jim Johnson.

6. #BRAVES (19-13) 1st NL East: They have cooled off considerably after going 13-3 to start and it has been their Offense as OF Jason Heyward continues to struggle.

7. #ROCKIES (19-13) 1st NL West: The Rocks have been a huge surprise and they have some nice young talent led by OFs Fowler and Car-Go (Carlos Gonzalez)...Can their Starting Pitching hold up?

8. #GIGANTES (19-14) 2nd NL West: They are on Cruise-Control the and the Defending Champs have a Whole Dry Storage of Starting Pitching enough to hold you down for more than 162.

9. #ROYALS (17-12) 2nd AL Central: Laugh if you want to they will be in the Upper Part of the Central and Junior Circuit for 2013 and they are led by RHP Jeremy Guthrie (4-0).

10. #BronxBOMBERS (18-13) 3rd AL East: Staying afloat and they are getting some excellent pitching from RHP Phil Hughes with Star and Leader Robbie Cano leading at the Dish...

On Deck and in the Hole....

#BUCCOS (18-14) 2nd NL Central: They have some Young Talent coming of Age and all of that is led by RHOP Burnett and MLB the Show 2K13 Cover Boy..."Cutch-22"

#RedLEGS (19-15) 3rd NL Central: The Reds are loaded and they have had been up and down and the real concern is RHP and Ace Johnny Cueto as they start to move into the Summer Months of 162.
