All calculated myself, I'll call it TAOPE since I don't think anyone have done this before. The numbers represent the amount of teams with higher payroll with less wins minus the amount of teams with lower payroll with more wins for the particular team. So since the Marlins score a 15, that mean they beat 15 other teams with a higher payroll and less wins minus teams who beat the Marlins with lower payroll and more wins. (which is none since the Marlins already are rank last in payroll, so they simply beat 15 other teams in payroll and less wins). I think it is a better formula in figuring how efficient each teams use their payroll since it compare it to every other teams.

Mariners are the worst 100 million dollar payroll team EVAR.

[baseball101]

I had no idea the Tigers had the second highest payroll in baseball.

[icedragon770]

wow

[Zack Attack Troll]

Haha. Tigers.

[chisox100]

Cubs #7?

Soriano, Ramirez, Zambrano, Ted Lilly and Kosuke Fukudome are all on huge contracts #7 sounds like an understatement.

[Fuck Mike Brown]

It is a fact, but a blinding one. Many of the contracts the Cubs give out dramatically increase in the next few years, so we'll see them rise to the top of the list

Its kinda interesting, but I think its just getting a little bit too inside the numbers..why can't we just sit back and enjoy the games?

The payroll per win is done every year. The Teams Achievement Over Payroll Expectation is the one that I thought of after I realize how pointless payroll per win really is.
