5 straight losses and 8 out of the last 10 to Seattle


Recommended Posts

Perhaps, but the payroll, market, names on the current roster, and age of the team says the Angels shouldn't struggle with never weres like Seattle.

 

Payroll never correlates with teams success or the quality of the players.  Remember, just last year the best player in the game only made 500K!

 

High payroll means you have a lot of veterans with past years of success, and you may have a lot of bad contracts on the books....aka Vernon Wells, and Blanton.

So your defining success as anything in upper half.....ok....makes statistical sense. Except how cone the Dodgers and Yanks were not in the WS last year?

How come AROD wasn't the best player in baseball last year. How come Vernon Wells wasn't an All Star. After all according to you payroll equates success?

The last 10 WS series winners have finished in the upper half of the bigs in terms of total payroll, and 19 of the last 21.

You realize that there's quite a variance between the top payroll and the middle payroll, don't you?  "Upper half" covers a wide swath of money.

And so long as your in the upper 50% your theory is proven. Payroll correlates with success.

but if that is true the Dodgers are the only one that should win the WS. Anyone else wins it it must be an upset.

I'm defining success as winning a World Series.
