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 |
