Season 8 Power Rankings - Top 10

Since we’re only 21 games into season 8 not much has changed from last season, I also used S7 as part of the equation. The next power rankings at the all star break will be based entirely on season 8 and will be much more in depth. This is just season introduction as it's really hard to base everything on 20 games.

1. San Francisco Night Demons (+1) – No surprises here, back to back champs are looking for their 3rd straight title. In the first 21 games of season 8 the Night Demons posted AL best 16-5 record and are the favorite by a mile to win the S8

WS.

2. New York Metropolitans (+1) – S7 NL Champs started season 8 with a 16-5 mark (best in NL) and look like they’re hungry for more than a WS visit. New York lost a huge piece of the puzzle when K. Coleman departed for Tucson but

the resent accusation of SP H. Wasdin makes it a lot less painful.

.

3. Charlotte Fat Nasty (-2) – This team took NY to 7 games in last seasons NLCS and is looking to go even farther this season. This is one of the most talented teams in Hunter from top to bottom. Charlotte lost their ace D. O’Keefe to Arizona and slugger A. Hanley to Salt Lake but with the young talent available it may be a good thing.

4. Augusta Caesars (-1) – The move from STL to Augusta didn’t seem to affect how this team performs on the field, their 13-7 start shows that they’re back and hungry for more. As every previous season, this franchise is always there at the end and it doesn’t look like that will change any time soon.

5. San Juan TCB (+1) – This team may challenge Charlotte for the NL South crown, yes they’re that good.

6. Louisville Sluggers (+3) – This team moved up the most spots since last seasons power ranking, posting a 15-6 mark in the first 21 games is what made it happen. Last season this team underperformed and it may be one of the biggest surprises this season.

.

.

7. Washington D.C. Generals (E) – Washington is another franchise that seems to find a way to be one of the teams standing at the end of every single season. The Generals are already showing off their pitching staff in this young season and should be one of the favorites for the AL crown.

.

.

8. Colorado Blasters (-3) – Just as last season, they're not to a great start but to count this team out a lot more will have to happen. The Blasters dropped 3 spots because of their weak start but they're packed from top to bottom, and I think everyone will agree when I say Colorado has one of the best if not the best offense in Hunter.

.

.

9. Burlington Black Sox (-1) – Burlington posted 12-9 record so far this season dropping them 1 spot from last seasons PR. As in many previous seasons the Black Sox pitching staff is always good, this season they're posting a 1.22 WHIP so far.

.

10. Pawtucket Patriots (F) – Pawtucket closes the top 10, new ownership and the franchise move seem to be working. So far the Patriots have a 15-6 record but will need to prove a lot more to stay or move up in the rankings.

.

Buffalo Nickles and Tucson Shockers aren't far from cracking the top 10.
