Teamup MLB Power Rankings TeamUp Fantasy MLB Power Rankings (7/29 - 8/4) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. San Francisco Giants (62-37) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: 10,996 Movement: None The Giants are still under the $11,000 threshold despite maintaining the best record in baseball. This past week, they once again proved any doubters that still may be out there wrong by going on the road to take three of four from the Dodgers. They should be in all TeamUp portfolios this week and for the rest of the season. 2. Houston Astros (61-39) (7-3 L10) TeamUp Value: $11,128 Movement: 2 The Astros jumped to number two in our rankings this week - the highest they’ve been all season - on the backs of winning five of six since our last rankings came out. They are a no-brainer elite play in TeamUp portfolios. 3. Los Angeles Dodgers (61-40) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $12,291 Movement: 1 Despite dropping a spot this week, the Dodgers are still as stable as they come in terms of the top teams to have in your TeamUp portfolio. Keep firing them up in your lineup if you have the cap space to pay the hefty price. 4. Boston Red Sox (62-39) (7-3 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,611 Movement: 1 At $10,611, the Red Sox are valued as more of a team in the middle of these rankings than one that is among baseball’s elite. They won’t be slowing down anytime soon, making Boston arguably the top bang-for-your-buck play in TeamUp. 5. Chicago White Sox (59-41) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $11,310 Movement: 2 The White Sox have been one of the top teams in baseball all season, and now are getting star outfielder Eloy Jimenez back from injury as they look to push for the top record in the American League. The return of Jimenez makes the Pale Hose an even stronger play in TeamUp lineups this week and beyond. 6. Tampa Bay Rays (60-40) (7-3 L10) TeamUp Value: $11,453 Movement: 1 The second-highest valued team in TeamUp has mostly lived up to that billing, but at a significantly higher price point than the first-place Red Sox, there might not be space for them in your TeamUp portfolio. If you can manage to have both, that’s great, but if you can only choose one, go with the cheaper, overperforming team in Boston. 7. Milwaukee Brewers (58-42) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,731 Movement: 1 The Brewers have been playing average-ish baseball over the past couple weeks, which is slightly concerning. However, the pieces are still in place and the potential for a big deadline acquisition looms. We’re still believers. 8. San Diego Padres (58-44) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $11,320 Movement: None You’re not in the wrong if you have the Padres in your portfolio, but the Dodgers are more consistent, albeit at a higher value, and the Giants are performing better at a lower TeamUp value. The trade for Adam Frazier over the weekend could vault the Padres back into the conversation with the top two teams in the NL West. 9. Oakland A’s (56-45) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,835 Movement: None The A’s are still firmly locked into the ninth spot in our rankings, and have enough separation from the pack above and below them that they would need a significant winning or losing streak to move up or down. They’re kind of in a tier of their own as a decent, but far from elite TeamUp play. 10. New York Mets (53-45) (6-4 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,279 Movement: 1 The Mets don’t really feel like a top-10 team, but the options are sparse for this spot, leaving them here almost by default. A big swing could be coming at the trade deadline and serve to change these passive feelings, but for now, they’re a solid, but lower-upside play in TeamUp, even as the best team in the NL East. 11. Seattle Mariners (54-46) (6-4 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,624 Movement: 4 As owners of the lowest team batting average in MLB and a -52 run differential, we have no idea how the Mariners are doing what they’re doing. However, 100 games is too much of a sample size to chalk it up as a total fluke, so we’re officially on the bandwagon. They’re a great play in TeamUp based on value, but take it week-by-week, with the understanding that this could all come crashing down at any time. 12. New York Yankees (51-47) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,697 Movement: None We’ve wondered for a while now if the Yankees will ever make the jump into a higher tier of our rankings, closer to where we expected them during the preseason, but it just doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Definitely pick Boston, who has 11 more wins and a lower TeamUp value, for your portfolio over the Yankees. 13. Toronto Blue Jays (49-47) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,227 Movement: 3 Toronto is a fun team to watch and one that will be a playoff contender in the years ahead, but they just aren’t quite ready to truly contend with the big boys this season. Presently, they’re valued as they should be in TeamUp, but keep an eye on them to be undervalued headed into next year. 14. Cincinnati Reds (51-49) (3-7 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,822 Movement: 1 The Reds have been just about a .500 team all season, and we don’t think they have the fire power or a deadline deal up their sleeve to change that. However, you need teams in this tier of the rankings to round out your profile, and the Reds are a good choice for that given their sub-$10,000 value and weak division. 15. Philadelphia Phillies (50-49) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,690 Movement: 1 We still like the Phillies as a high-upside team to break out and move up in our rankings in the last two months of the season, despite the one spot drop here. Expect the always-aggressive Dave Dombrowski to make a deadline trade or two to address their flailing bullpen and push this roster toward the playoffs. 16. Cleveland Indians (49-48) (4-6 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,241 Movement: None The biggest news out of Cleveland this week wasn’t the play on the field, but the unveiling of a new team name and logo that sounds and looks like it came straight out of the rejects folder for the XFL. On the field, they have been the definition of average all season, and are a passable, but very low upside play in TeamUp. 17. Los Angeles Angels (50-49) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,524 Movement: None Mike Trout’s return looks to be coming soon, so optimists could be convinced that the Angels are good enough value to put in their TeamUp portfolio, expecting a hot stretch after his return. We don’t entirely disagree, but understand the history of the Angels losing despite Trout’s greatness, and Houston, Oakland, and Seattle are all reasonably priced teams outperforming Los Angeles right now. 18. Atlanta Braves (49-51) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $10,051 Movement: None The Braves are another team that was expected to be much higher in these rankings at the beginning of the season, and some fans may have spent the first 100 games waiting for them to go on a run and jump back into that tier. That looks very unlikely at this point, especially with Ronald Acuña Jr. done for the year. Don’t consider the Braves anything more than a .500 team that probably is better left out of your portfolio. 19. St. Louis Cardinals (50-50) (6-4 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,911 Movement: None Another very disappointing team in the first 100 games this season, the Cardinals are not in realistic playoff contention despite making a big splash to get Nolan Arenado in the offseason. They are another team with some perceived potential, but not one that you should not bank on making a late run. There are better TeamUp options out there. 20. Chicago Cubs (50-51) (5-5 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,864 Movement: None We suspect that when you read these rankings, there could be some very familiar faces no longer wearing the Chicago Cub pinstripes. At least some combination of Anthony Rizzo, Javy Báez, Kris Bryant, and Craig Kimbrel appear to be on their way out now that the Cubs have fallen fully out of contention. The imminent sell-off means they are a poor pick in TeamUp. 21. Detroit Tigers (47-55) (6-4 L10) TeamUp Value: $8,605 Movement: 2 The Tigers have been playing very good baseball for an extended period, and they’ve been doing it at a much lower TeamUp value than the teams in the middle tier of these rankings. We like them as a value last active pick for your portfolio, leaving extra cash to splurge on adding another elite team. 22. Washington Nationals (45-54) (3-7 L10) TeamUp Value: $9,361 Movement: 1 A weekend sweep at the hands of the lowly Orioles followed up by a blown lead on Monday night in Philadelphia feels like it seals Washington’s fate.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World Series Champion Washington Nationals November 4, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much, everyone. I have to say, this is a record. We've never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House. So congratulations. Just another record for the Nats. But today the First Lady and I are thrilled to welcome to the White House the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals. For the first time in nearly 100 years, our Nation's Capital is celebrating a World Series victory. That's big stuff. The last time Washington, DC, was home to the World Series champs, the President was a gentleman named Calvin Coolidge. That's a long time ago. Nearly a century later, the Nationals have brought back the trophy to America's Capital, and you've won it. This is the first World Series in franchise history, and it's going to be, really, the first of many, I predict. I want to congratulate the terrific owners of the team. Your principal owner, Mark Lerner, and Ted Lerner. Great people. The Lerner family. A man who's become very famous—I think he's much more famous than me right now— General Manager Mike Rizzo. You have become very famous, huh? General Manager and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo. Thank you, sir. The President. A manager—and you watch all the mistakes made in baseball and other sports, and then you watch what this man did as manager. He didn't make any.
