1) Kansas City Royals
2) Tampa Bay Rays
3) Atlanta Braves
4) Toronto Blue Jays
5) Philadelphia Phillies
6) Los Angeles Angels
7) Minnesota Twins
8) Cincinnati Reds

A year ago, I wrote that the Jays might have ranked last without the talent infusion from the Scott Rolen and Roy Halladay trades. In the past 12 months, they saw a few in-house guys take steps forward, traded for another impact prospect in Brett Lawrie and had another solid draft, to the point that I left some likely big leaguers off their Top 10 for lack of room. The organizational turnaround in the year-plus since Alex Anthopoulos took over as GM has been impressive.
