There you go, proof that a high payroll means playoff failure.

I sure hope the O's don't spend too much!

Well some of them at least made the playoffs.

How many of those teams got in the playoffs? Let's see, the Yankees, Nationals, Dodgers. Rangers, and Blue Jays all in the top ten in payroll and all made the playoffs. I'd say that's a pretty good rate at 50 percent. Once you get in there, it's a crapshoot.

Five out of the bottom 20 teams made it (25 percent). Either way you look it, it's safe to say that spending increases your chances of seeing the playoffs.

Nine out of 30 I would hope at least one squeaked in.

What playoffs did the Nats make? The hype payroll playoffs?

No. I'd say having better players does that.

They won the NL East in March.

It's not their fault that the Mets rained on the media's parade.

Clearly Preller showed Padres fans a commitment to winning. The rest are just details.

I like his off-season this year better.

Yep. The deadline additions didnt help Toronto get to the playoffs. Only what they did last offseason. All Smoak.
