Teams that got the most bang for their buck last decade

I don't think both Marlin fans would get too excited over this. St. Looie, maybe.

And, the Mets? Well... sorry, Pat.

A's averaged 89 wins per season during the last decade, with the 7th lowest average payroll. I guess moneyball works after all. Twins did ok too.

Cubs and Mets were throwing money away, but the Tigers and Orioles were far worse overall. Tigers at least had a little to show for it.

I think fans prefer championships to efficiency. I know I would.

Dodgers fans must be livid then. Their team is becoming the lovable losers that the Cubs have always been, only not so loveable.

Right now I'd like to get a single "Achievement Point". Actually getting a championship might be more than I can hope for.
