Toronto Blue Jays Power Rankings - 2013
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 17-26 | 24 | Mark Buehrle has allowed five or more runs in four of his past five starts, during which time his ERA has climbed to 6.33 on the season. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 7 | 15-24 | 28 | The slow march toward .500 continues, as the Jays went 4-3 last week. The Jays will attempt to weather the storm this week, with only five games scheduled, and a number of players hitting the DL. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
| Week 6 | 11-21 | 27 | After another poor week (2-4), many fans and a portion of the media are calling for changes, ranging from on-field personnel to the coaching staff. In short, things have gotten ugly. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
| Week 5 | 9-17 | 24 | The Jays lost six games last week by a total of eight runs. The upcoming May schedule is brutal; the Jays have a month to get their act together or this season will be a write-off. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
| Week 4 | 8-11 | 15 | Things are looking up for the Jays: R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson all turned in quality starts, and Brett Lawrie and Jose Bautista have returned to the lineup. Twenty-seven of the Jays' next 31 games are against AL East opponents. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
| Week 3 | 5-7 | 17 | An ankle injury will sideline Jose Reyes until the All-Star break. This has reconfigured the Jays' infield, with Jose Bautista shifting over to third base, a committee at shortstop and the possibility of Brett Lawrie seeing time at second base. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
| Week 2 | 2-4 | 13 | Have a bad six-game stretch in the middle of the season and it's no big deal. Have it at the start of the season and it gets blown out of perspective. The Jays are minus-12 in run differential, R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle were shelled in their last start and Jose Bautista missed three games with an ankle sprain. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 8 | Excitement is palpable among Jays fans. Offseason acquisitions have transformed Toronto from also-rans to front-runners in the AL East. It's World Series or bust. -- Matthias Koster, Mop-Up Duty | |
