Salary vs. Performance graph

My buddy sent me this tonight.  It's a visual graph of each team's performance (i.e. record), updated regularly, compared to its salary.  Blue lines mean teams are doing well relative to their salaries, red means they are not.  Drag the bar at the top left and right to track season progress.  Enjoy!

Interesting graph...

A few things surprised me, one was that the White Sox are spending more money thatn the Cubs?

Interesting graph

My only complaint is that they should have made it more organized so that its easier to read but still a great post.

I Use Baseball Analysis....

....in a similar way- to divert my attention from studying. Thanks for this graph and the link. It’ll help me procrastinate my summer session class work!

Um, excuse me, you were supposed to title your post "Interesting graph".

Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.

Interesting graphology

My only negative is that it freaks out vista. Stupid Vista.

I wonder...

How much Soriano brings the Cubs down on that graph. Cool graph though.
