From the article: The numbers aren't a ranking of which teams have done the best job at international scouting or which ones have spent their money the most efficiently, but in general, the teams that have been the most productive internationally the last five to seven years tend to rise to the top. The GIants have 7 players, notably the Venezuelan prospects Francisco Peguero, Ehire Adrianza and Hector Sanchez. They are ranked in the middle of the pack, below the aggressive teams such as Texas and Detroit, and way above the misers such as Los Angeles and Arizona.
