The St. Louis Cardinals open the season on top of the TSN.ca MLB Power Rankings, ahead of the defending champion Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers. After losing to the Red Sox in the World Series, the Cardinals upgraded their outfield defence, adding centre fielder Peter Bourjos, and made moves to improve their batting order, including the addition of shortstop Jhonny Peralta and opening up room at first base for Matt Adams. The Red Sox are obviously still formidable, with rookie shortstop Xander Bogaerts helping to refresh the roster, but there have been enough questions about their pitching staff from year-to-year to like St. Louis ever-so-slightly better. The Tampa Bay Rays and Pittsburgh Pirates round out the Top Five. Among teams that struggled last season, the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Brewers are both ranked among the top dozen teams, after some interesting offseason additions and the New York Yankees open in a middle-of-the-pack 16th. The Yankees are an upwardly-mobile team if they can stay healthy and get the kind of pitching they would like from CC Sabathia, Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda (among others), but the roster is still old and the spectre of injuries hangs over them as Derek Jeter enters his final season. The Toronto Blue Jays, ranked third in the preseason last year, open much more modestly this year, ranked 25th, with massive questions about their pitching staff.

In a rebuke to his critics, Hamilton told City AM this week: It doesnt matter what the pundits say - Oh hes off travelling and partying - I turn up and I win. Dont talk to me about what I can and cant do. I define who I am, Im not defined by what people say. I might be in 10 different countries in a week, but Ill turn up at the track and kill it.The Formula 1 Gossip column Despite the criticism of his off-track lifestyle, Hamilton has won the last two World Championships and remains locked in a dogfight for this years World Championship with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg after winning the United States and Mexican GPs last month. No matter what he is doing, if he turns up and produces a great result, then it doesnt matter what he is doing away from the race track because he is prepared in his mind and physically, Sky F1s Marc Priestley told this weeks F1 Report: Brazil preview. I think you have to judge it over three or four seasons and then perhaps look back. This is a long season, the longest we have ever had, and at the start of the season we saw him jetting off all over the place between races and you think maybe because it is a long and tiresome season that will come to play near the end.But in Austin and Mexico he has turned up like a new man, so you cant really judge him. Marc Priestley and F1 film maker Mario Muth believe they aren’t in a position to judge Lewis Hamilton over his lifestyle. The former McLaren mechanic also likened Hamiltons lifestyyle to that of Kimi Raikkonen, with whom he worked at Woking.dddddddddddd.I remember when I was at McLaren and Kimi Raikkonen was at the height of his partying days and people criticised him left, right and centre, Priestley added. Yet at that time he was at the top of his game and one of the fastest drivers I have ever worked with. An established fan of social media, Hamilton frequently documents his own off-track activities for his fans, and F1 filmmaker Mario Muth suspects other drivers could be engaging in similar behaviour but with a lower profile. Whatever makes him faster, I think it is fine, said Muth. We just see more of what he is up to, Im not sure the others dont do the same thing. But he is just out there posting everything, so it gives people a reason to talk about it.He is obviously creating an image outside of F1 and these things help to do it, but we never saw Kimi - well, once, falling off a boat - but never really saw what he is doing. Nowadays it is very different. And Priestley believes globetrotting may be how Hamilton deals with the stress of being a modern F1 driver.Some things work for some certain people, he added. You could argue that you have to relax after a busy and stressful F1 weekend. Some people do that with their families, others go and party and travel.So we are not in a position to criticise him. Hes a triple world champion, he could go on to have more World Championships, so how could we possibly say he is not doing the right thing for him?Can Nico Rosberg clinch the title at Interlagos?
