What He Said
Baseball Prospectus: Unfiltered —
Great take on the Yankees and how the latest Championship is perceived. The chart is brilliant.
Another great take on the same thing, inspired by the first one.
The “eternal option” is ended. I’d expected that the Sox would go “one more year” and be willing to cut Wakefield, but this one makes sense in every respect.
Know that rule in fantasy where it’s always better to trade two or three good players for one great one? Sounds like that’s what the Rangers ...

Subtraction,com: Watching Yankees Spending I’ve always thought, too, that vilifying the Yankees payroll was a perspective that lacked dimension. Yes, it’s a consistently stratospheric number, but isn’t it significant, too, that by making their home in New York the Yankees are at the epicenter of the biggest baseball market on the planet? The team franchise has a payroll that’s commensurate with its huge valuation, if nothing else. However, as a counter-argument, declaring the team a victim of its own incredibly lucrative circumstances seems equally one-dimensional. So I ...

Khoi Vinh on the Yankees and Payroll
For almost a decade, the Yankees have consistently maintained the highest payroll in Major League Baseball while failing to bring home a World Series title, and during that time the grousing took the form of ridicule. What Yankees fans heard then was: “See? You Yankees can’t buy championships, even with all of your money.” What we hear today is: “See? You Yankees just buy championships with all of your money.”
This is not a coherent line of argument, but then again it would be naïve to look for any ...
Five Reasons Why Curtis Granderson-to-the-Yankees Makes Sense For New York and Detroit
The Big Lead —
... 1. Detroit needs to trim payroll. According to this, the Tigers are doing what many fans think they should - generating revenue and spending it on their team. That’s great if you win. The Tigers lost a one-game playoff and missed the postseason. Despite a 12-win improvement in 2009 over 2008, the Tigers lost an average of ...

... As you chew on those statements and the aging horrors that may await us, take a peak at this rough sketch of reinvestment strategies among baseball teams. Khoi Vinh of the blog Subtraction has explored the way baseball teams in 2009 reinvested their 2008 earnings on the field and found that the Yanks’ reinvestment rates were near the top and that, especially in the playoffs, reinvestment rates determined success (and winning percentage). Of the eight playoff teams, none reinvested a larger percent of their earnings as the Yankees did, and no other team, obviously, reached ...
