Beyond the Box Score Power Rankings

These rankings use advanced statistics in an attempt to create an objective power ranking, measuring the strength of a team thus far and going forward.  The good news: The A's rank 11th in baseball.  The bad news: That's only good for 8th in the AL (the league adjustment is pretty huge here, maybe a tad too high), and they are projected to only win 77 games and finish 3rd in the AL West to the Angels' 80 and Rangers' 93.
