Hi guys,
Cool Site!
I have found a widget that displays the cost per game for the major league baseball teams.
This little widget converts a super nice swivel dataset into a widget through a few calculations and conversions.

I think you might like it:-)

Not only will they keep hold of them for longer, but they get a bit of financial certainty that otherwise wouldn't be there if they had to go to arbitration each year. The Phillies were unable to lock-up Ryan Howard and that's left them in the position where they are paying $10m for him this year ($3m more than they wanted), and that figure is only going to rise in each of the next three years (if they don't trade him in the meantime). I guess the 'problem' teams face is that the player is well within their rights to go year to year and then hit a big pay day after six years of service as a free agent. The Dodgers want to lock up Russell Martin, but he's happy not to go down that route. If he doesn't get injured, he's almost guaranteed to earn a lot more money that way. It depends whether a player wants to take that risk. Hi Ryan

Example A is the chapter on the 2002 draft, which featured Beane and the A's staff gushing over Jeremy Brown and Brant Colamarino, (who "might be the best hitter in the country!" as the book quotes DePodesta) while sharply criticizing the picks of Jeremy Bonderman and Prince Fielder. Granted, when you add it all up and compare the results to other teams, the A's 2002 draft was definitely a success, albeit not an overwhelming one. Nevertheless, it still shows the dangers of broad generalizations and putting too much faith in theories - I would expect that a couple of the contracts in your first category, especially A-Rod's, will end up giving their team substantially more production per dollar than most of the players in your second list.
