Power Rankings: Don't believe everything you read

Updated July 29

Here we are in one of the most fun weeks of the baseball year, one in which we traffic in nonsensical trade rumors, far-fetched speculation and bogus confirmations/denials.

Why, by the end of the day, somebody will have made the case the Yankees could get Felix Hernandez for a package headlined by Melky Cabrera. And somebody else will believe it, and somebody else will shoot it down, and it will be a hell of a lot more entertaining than whatever it is we're supposed to be doing at work.

That's the context for this week's Power Rankings.

We're in the proverbial calm before the storm, as one or two moves or non-moves -- the Diamondbacks adding Mark Teixeira, the Red Sox deciding not to patch their bullpen -- could send teams careening up and down the charts. So, as of 8:32 a.m. ET on Tuesday, July 29, here's where we stand.
