| 10 | 14 | Blue Jays | Great minor league system. Good team without bloated payroll. |
| 9 | 11 | Rockies | Solid all the way across. |

| 7 | 1 | Phillies | Very successful team but core is aging and paid well. Minors is depleted. |

| 5 | 9 | Red Sox | A consistent winner with deep pockets and decent minor league system. |
| 4 | 3 | Yankees | Big time winner with average minor league system, but you money can't buy you a #1 ranking. |
| 3 | 13 | Cardinals | Your 2011 Champions have a strong minor league system to replace aging vets. Payroll is spent efficiently. |
