To see the data in spreadsheet form,
click here. You can see how teams changed in versus last years ranking and where they scored in each of the four component categories. Toronto, San Fransisco, Cincinatti, and the White Sox moved up 10 or more places while Milwaukee, Seattle, Cleveland, and Arizona were the big downgrades. I didn't like how Future Talent was compiled and have some reservations about Financial Resources (perhaps a topic for another post).
A quick summary of each of the component categories:
Below is a graph of team score vs. rank. One thing to remember when disputing the # of the rank is how close it is to surrounding team scores. Rankings #16 - #20 are separated by less than a point. If you're upset about Baltimore at #16 but wouldn't really mind them at #20 it's not really worth complaining about.
I can't say I'm a huge fan of how the Future Talent rankings were compiled:
