2009 Team Payrolls: A Graphical Representation
Pete Abraham breaks down the final 2009 MLB payroll numbers here.
However, to get a true sense of the modern MLB environment, I think it’s best to visualize things. I’ll just plop the numbers into a graph and let the data do the talking:
The salaries appear to be normally distributed (for the most part). Sure, there’s an outlier, but what fun would life be without outliers?
Odds & Ends:
The Mike Lowell situation is about as awkward as can be. But, to his credit, he seems to be saying all the right things. I think he’d be a great fit as a backup corner infielder / DH who gets 300 plate appearances while spelling three regulars, but it’s unclear whether or not Lowell would accept such a role. I do not believe in the slightest that the 2010 Red Sox will leave Fort Myers with Mike Lowell slotted in as a stater at 3B.
Just from reading the tea leaves and hearing Terry Francona’s unabashed man love for Casey Kotchman, it appears that even if no more moves are made, Lowell could still be the odd man out.
Very interesting stuff!
