I believe the current ordering of teams on the standings page is by team rank, so it is kind of the expected ordering of teams. Maybe you are looking for a more official kind of ranking view? I suppose some sort of power ranking could probably be generated based on the relative rankings of teams?

For the past few seasons I've been in full rebuilding mode and my team is ranked in the mid 600s I'm pretty sure my team is better than that though at this point, and I'm hoping to contend for a division championship this season. It would be neat to see some sort of progress maybe based on current roster talent or SI?

Really several owners do this for their leagues informally already, and some of them end up being quite accurate (though MLB power rankings can be just as inaccurate as the worst BB predictions thus all the movement in them). Don't worry, if your team got better as you say they have, then you'll win some games and it will be reflected in the rankings which are purely reactionary (to wins and losses) in the game.
