MLB Power Rankings: A.L. East is reasserting itself

. Previous: . Colorado Rockies. 25. team. 108. There’s a lot of discussion about how the Rockies may move Carlos Gonzalez at the deadline, but his contract makes that a non-starter for most teams. If Colorado really wants to make something happen, they could try and find a buyer for center fielder Charlie Blackmon. His batting average is a product of Coors Field, but he’s actually hit twice as many home runs on the road and could be a defensive upgrade for many teams.

24. team. 96. Josh Reddick has always had potential, but strike-outs were his biggest weakness. However, he’s managed to turn things around in that regard in 2015. Having a greater than 2:1 K/BB ratio over his career, Reddick has only struck out 28 tims this season against 25 walks. As a result, Reddick is enjoying his finest season, with a 132 wRC+ and at 2.1 WAR has the chance to best his 2012 mark of 4.5. . . Previous: . Oakland Athletics

23. team. 62. What more can you say about Mariners rookie Mike Montgomery who came in and fired his second consecutive shut-out on Tuesday. That’s just the 12th time since 1980 a rookie has accomplished the feat. In six starts and 44.1 innings of work, Montgomery has allowed just eight earned runs and a single home run. With the inconsistency of the Mariners rotation, it’s been a welcome boost. . . Previous: . Seattle Mariners

team. 61. Matt Carpenter has been solid for the Cardinals, but there is no third baseman in the National League more deserving to start the All-Star Game than Todd Frazier. Frazier leads all third baseman in WAR (4.3), wRC+ (161), home runs (25), and is second in RBI (54). If not for Bryce Harper and Paul Goldschmidt, Frazier could be the N.L. MVP as well.. .
