MLB Cost Index for May 15 2006

[We’ve moved the Cost Index to Mondays because what better way is there to start a week at your crappy job but to see how GMs are wasting millions of dollars on your underachieving team. For most you anyway, both on the job and on the team.]

It’s good to be the Padres, Phillies, White Sox, Astros, Cardinals and Tigers. Those teams are legitimate contenders at a relatively bargain price. It’s not good to be the Dodgers, Cubs or Angels, 3 of the most expensive teams in the league who are playing sub-.500 ball. And despite leading the league in cost per win, it still sucks to be the Marlins.

** all $ are in millions.

[We’ve moved the Cost Index to Mondays because what better way is there to start a week at your crappy job but to see how GMs are wasting millions of dollars on your underachieving team. (For most you anyway, both on the job and on the team.)]

This week, the Phillies and the Padres make the biggest leaps after wininng 8 in a row. The costliest club so far? Braves, Angels, Mariners and Yankees. But at least the Yankees are winning their division.

MLB Cost Index for May 1 2006

We’ve moved the Cost Index to Mondays because what better way is there to start a week at your crappy job but to see how GMs are wasting millions of dollars on your underachieving team. (For most you anyway, both on the job and on the team.)

For non-stats geeks, just look at the right hand column. The lower your team is on the list, the more inefficient your payroll is. However, the cheap ass Marlins will be at the top and the Yankees are always going to be at the bottom because of their exorbitant payroll. Either way, they still should be winning more games. Oh, and the average cost for a win right now? $955,000; which makes the Reds and Rockies the best bargains in the league.

The MLB Cost Index for Apr 13 2006

The MLB Cost Index is a measure of how far the money your GM is spending is taking your team. We’re stats geeks so this makes perfect sense to us. If you’re not, just go to the last column. Lower is better. Right now, the Rockies and Indians are bargains while the Phillies and Yankees are wasting money.
