Over last 5 seasons Giants 32/122 in "smartest spending"

DanMetroMan : 4/25/2014 12:26 am
"Our ranking of all 122 franchises in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB rates teams based on how much they spent in player payroll for every win during the last five seasons. Each team is compared against the average price per win in its league to produce a score we call the efficiency index. The less a team spends compared with its peers, the lower its score. Playoff victories and championships get extra weight. Payroll data come from the best available published sources.*"

How in the world can you compare any of this info

How can you rank or compare spending in various leagues where spending rules are vastly different? Roster sizes?

You have salary caps, salary floors, guarantee vs non-guarantee. Player arbitration vs rookie scales. Fix contracts based on service years. Different draft guidelines in the fact one league has a lottery system.

Seems more like GIGO.
Looks spot on.

Puts the Yankees at 92. All of that money in the last 14 years and only one championship. The Mets should be last

I would assume statistical variables using a coefficient of variance with some coefficient of correlation sprinkled in.
these things are fun to debate

but any statistical analysis that shows the Knicks 20 spots ahead of the Red Sox in "smart spending" is too flawed to pay much attention to
