In this week’s edition of “Guys who were cheap free agents who are not in Baltimore,” designated hitter Kendrys Morales (pictured) hit his seventh home run of the year on Monday. He’s batting .292 with a team-leading 41 RBIs and would be a power threat in an Orioles lineup that doesn’t have many, even if he’d be clogging up the DH spot.

Baseball isnot quite into the dog days just yet, but these Sports Blitz power rankings certainly might be. The best teams have settled into comfortable spots near the top of the rankings, though the risers -- and fallers -- this week might be surprising. As always, these rankings are completely subjective, yet objectively correct.
