Now that the 2009 MLB season has concluded, we can take a look at which teams managed their payrolls well, and which teams allowed their payrolls to manage them.
This is a pretty straight forward formula, take 2009 payrolls of each team and divide them by the number of wins. This formula counts all post season wins and the 2009 Playoff teams are in bold.
• New York Mets- 149,373987 dollar payroll, 70 wins= 2,133,914 dollars per win
• Chicago Cubs- 134,809,000 dollar payroll, 83 wins= 1,624,205 dollars per win
