Saw this on another message board.

Payroll Winning % $/win
Yankees 206 M 0.556 4.75 M
Royals 36 M 0.336 4.81 M

its all in the margins (i.e. the closer you get to the postseason the more important the win), but why screw up some good yankee bashing so don't forget about the 34 million luxury tax George has to pay in November plus the assumed pro-rated salaries of lawton, leiter, chacon, embree, bellhorn (not sure who else).

somethings wrong with those numbers, or im clueless.

first theyre out of date, the yankees are .569 and the royals are .326

right now $/win to me looks like:

nyy- 2.78
kc- .85

or am i doing it wrong??

The team has a .336 winning percentage. What difference does it make how much they're spending per win? Anybody can lose cheaply.

Bad enough that by the time you read this, I will be warming up in their bullpen.

my advice is if you think you're gonna walk the guy just hit'em instead.

The point being made in the OP was that they were paying MORE per win than the Yankees. The stats have been brought into question since then.

They are so bad that somehow they recently took 2 out of 3 from Oaktown.

We felt sorry for them. Oaktown is so good they can help a brother when he's down and still own the division.
