Team Payroll Value Index - 2013
April
9, 2013 - We're only a little over one week into the baseball season
and some trends are starting to emerge. Oh, they are not trends
that will necessarily last all year, as some teams that are playing
poorly will rebound and others that are off to meteoric heights will
come back to earth. Contracts have been given out, even though it
really took too long for Kyle Lohse to get a deal, and some teams got
good value for the money spent, and others, well, they did not, at
least from the vantage point of the start of the season. So let's
get into the details on who we thought are spending their money wisely,
or who would make a good addition to the staff at the federal
government.
The Team Payroll Value Index
from baseballevaluation.com compares the actual money spent with the
Salary Projection model estimates (SPRO), in order to come up with an index
that takes stock of the salaries handed out, ranking them in the order
of their effectiveness. This does not represent who is the best
team. Low payroll or high payroll, you can spend your money well. Good team or bad team, you can do the same.
Top Five
1. Tampa Bay Rays - It's getting to be a habit, and one that the
Billy Beane crowd on the west coast might be surprised at, but the
Tampa Bay Rays are again the best spending team in baseball. Yes,
they build through the draft. Yes, they let players walk who they
don't think will be worth what they have to pay them, i.e. B.J. Upton
this year. And they pay those they want to keep in a judicious
way, i.e. Evan Longoria and Ben Zobrist. Longoria is being paid
$2.5m this year, but is worth $10.1, even considering his service time,
and Zobrist should be paid $12.25m, but is getting $5.7m. Now,
it's a hard pull and tug, as the negotiations after this season for
extending Cy Young winner David Price will attest, but the Tampa Bay
office is making a whole lot of the right calls in the payroll
department, all while maintaining a competitive club.
Congratulations, guys. Now if they could only figure out
how to fill the stadium with fans.
2. Houston Astros - Sure, they're in here at number two, but
we're not stating that this is any way to run an airline or a space
station. The reason for getting value for money when you spend
none, is that emerging players being paid a little will outperform that
little. And when you plug in a veteran player like Carlos Pena,
who'd have trouble finding starting work somewhere else, but wants it,
even at a bargain price, you get value. The Astros will win more
games than people think this year, but that's only because they don't
think they'll win very many. Good news for Astros fans, is that
the farm system is filled with the remnants of trading away players.
Just wait till Jonathan Singleton makes it to the club.
3. Miami Marlins - See the rationale above, but this situation is
even worse. If you build it, the front office in Miami will, at
first, spend like drunken sailors on players who did not have the value
they were spending and get a bad club the next season to boot, only to
have a firesale when the hangover is over. No wonder Giancarlo is
barking. Yes, there is some talent in young pitchers and folks
they got back in return. And it may work out in the end, ... they
have two World Series victories when others will more traditional
builds have none, but for now, they have value for the money spent
here. But if you were a Marlin fan, that wouldn't make any of it
worthwhile.
4. Milwaukee Brewers - A good deal of the value here is in
contracts to stars that seemed spendy at first, but may turn out to be
good deals for their entire term. For example, Ryan Braun being
paid $9.8m this year, but worth $18m and a contract that doesn't get to
the worth level till 2016, as long as Braun continues to play as he has
and stays off whatever juice is in question. Similiar could be
said for the contract of Aramis Ramirez and Yovani Gallardo. Well
spent at the top end worth of the #4 spot of the VMI list.
5. Toronto Blue Jays - Now how in the world could a club that
went out and traded for, and signed, a ton of star players get into the
Top Five. Well, they traded for a Cy Young Award winner who's
only being paid $5m this year and they signed a PED star for a lowish
contract for his production level, even though we have doubts that the
production was real and will be sustained over a long period of time.
And Edwin Encarnacion, who had that great year last year, is
being paid $8m when he's worth nearly $5m more. That's how you
get there.
Bottom Five
26. Boston Red Sox - Remember when the Red Sox spent a lot of
money, but got a lot of wins for it. Well, not right now, with
contracts to stars that are too high across the board, although to be
fair, the only truly bad one is John Lackey at $15,950,00, while worth
under $3m. We're not too sure if the Stephen Drew contract won't
be considered that bad in a couple years, ... it's only bad now, but
that's unfair before the fact.
27. Chicago White Sox - Yes, there is a trend in the bottom of
the value barrel list. Big cities with high revenues don't always
spend wisely. In the White Sox side of town case, there's John
Danks. And to a smaller, but rebounding sense, there's Adam Dunn
and Jake Peavy. We're okay with the Paul Konerko numbers though,
just to throw a second city bone.
28. Los Angeles Dodgers - When you intentionally gather contract
that others deam poor value, there's no surprise that you show up on
this list. Carl Crawford, let go by Tampa Bay (wise spenders) to Boston
(bad spenders) to the Dodgers (collecting bad contracts). Is
there a transitive property I've forgotten from those geometry days at
play here? Add in Josh Beckett and Ted Lilly, oh, and who can
forget Juan Uribe, and you've got a major problem with spending.
Well, just contemplate how much money they'll eventually give
Clayton Kershaw.
29. Chicago Cubs - Theo has moved from Boston to Chicago and is
trying is best to turn the ship around. Most of the bad contract
have been inherited, but ... we're not crazy about the new ones either,
such as Edwin Jackson, even though the downside is lower than in the
past administration.
30. New
York Yankees - You really only have to site one example,... Alex
Rodriguez is being paid more money than the entire 25 man roster of the
Houston Astros, has not been playing well in the recent past, and is
not playing now at all. He's being paid $29m, but is worth $8.2m.
Basically everyone on the team, except a few, is being paid more
than they're worth. Robinson Cano is one example of someone on
the plus side, but is just starting longer term negotiations. Why
pay Andy Pettite $12m at this stage of his career or Kevin Youkalis at
that level either?
