Last week's ranking in parentheses

Team
1 Arizona (1) Melvin's motto: "I survived Scott Spiezio and Rich Aurilia!"
2 Boston (2) Listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed, best young Sox shortstop since Nomar fled
3 Angels (3) So much for struggling without Lackey and Escobar
4 Cubs (4) Looks like Kerry Wood has found his niche as a closer
5 Mets (7) Isiah fired, so Randolph now officially most beleaguered head man in New York
6 St. Louis (13) Last year stunk, but they're not here to talk about the past
7 White Sox (12) Where's Wilbur Wood when you really need him?
8 Yankees (6) New ballpark: The House That Joba Built
9 Milwaukee (9) If Sheets can just stay healthy, he has a Cy Young in his future
10 Colorado (10) Just call him Sore-vit: Torrealba catches all 22 innings of Thursday marathon
11 Seattle (17) No, "88 Minutes" is not a documentary on Erik Bedard's Seattle pitching career
12 Kansas City (15) "Bannister, Meche and Greinke, and then things get hinky"
13 Philadelphia (14) Jamie Moyer has no peers (not since Julio Franco went to Mexico, anyway)
14 San Diego (11) Catch-22: The Padres are doomed in extra-inning games against the Rockies
15 Cleveland (5) Well, everyone DID say Indians and Tigers would be battling it out
16 Detroit (16) Clete Thomas is best Clete since Boyer; now we just need to find a "Cloyd"
17 Dodgers (8) Joe Torre not nearly as smart without A-Rod, Jeter and Rivera
18 Florida (24) Youthful Marlins tabbed least valuable by Forbes, but ranked No. 1 by Tiger Beat
19 Oakland (19) Mike Sweeney, through Friday, one K in 57 plate appearances: King Felix
20 Atlanta (20) Looks like the Braves kept the right Jones
21 Baltimore (22) In the battle of gimpy hips, advantage Orioles
22 Toronto (25) Thomas: The Big Hurt. Eckstein: The Little Squirt
23 Minnesota (21) They can survive no Santana, Hunter & Silva, but boy do they miss Matthew LeCroy
24 Texas (23) Rangers hope that virtuoso guitarist Broussard doesn't need Tommy Lee surgery
25 Tampa Bay (26) Forbes estimates franchise value of Rays as "Steinbrenner's pocket change"
26 Pittsburgh (28) If Obama wants to win Pennsylvania, he'll court the "bitter Pirate fan" demographic
27 Cincinnati (18) Japanese high-schooler throws 250 pitches; Dusty wants him for Reds' rotation
28 San Francisco (27) So bad, they've opted to show all their games in HD (Hazy Definition)
29 Houston (29) Astros shocker: Hunter Pence (.200) reveals that he's really 56 years old
30 Washington (30) Montreal reassures Sonics fans: They won't really steal your team
