Totally irrelevant. If they win 100 games, it’s still over $2 million per win. Totally irrelevant.

I think that the Yankees number is too low. If your business model indicates that the best way to make money is to overspend on players, then that's what you do. The Yankees have not spent enough since Cashman has taken over the reigns in 2005 and the result is the Yankees missing the playoffs this year. If the Yankees continue to go in reverse, as they have done recently, their revenues will start falling a lot faster than their payroll.

Tall guys have so many moving parts, it takes a while to refine their delivery and develop command/control. He sounds like a stud, I'll go see him pitch next year a few times. I trust my eyes better then having someone tell me he is good/bad. His projection is high, be nice if he matches it. 27/09. Brackman (unless a set back) will take a while to move up the ranks.

But the important thing is that we've seen him go 5 innings, so any talk of "brackman needs to go to the 'pen NOW" will quiet down.
