Not a shocker here...The defending World Champions, after a 3-1 start are on top of the first 2008 Power Rankings of the year.  The Mets are still in the top 5, despite the potentially devastating injury to Pedro.  The Skanks unfortunately come in at 4th, after taking 2 out of 3 from the #12 Blue Jays.  The Braves and Phils are 8th and 9th respectively, and the Orioles are the first goat of the year, ranked as last.

#1#2#3#4#5

The Tigers are now 0-4 to start the season and are already dealing with injury problems.  Desptie the hype over the offense, I don't think they will be able to outlast the Indians for the AL Central.  Hopefully the injury to Martinez will not affect the team too negatively.  Santana, Perez, and Maine still are a very good 1-2-3.  Only time will tell how it affects them.
