Contractual Matters: NL East by Jeff Euston
Baseball Prospectus &bull Mar 4, 2010
The Phillies begin 2010 with baseball's fourth-highest payroll at $139 million, neck-and-neck with the Cubs for the highest in the NL. The jump in spending, which accompanied the opening of Citizens Bank Park in 2004, culminated in a World Series title and two consecutive NL pennants. The Phillies are well positioned to continue to exploit their financial advantage over their NL rivals. As part of the trade that delivered him from Toronto, Halladay agreed to a three-year, $60-million extension that places him third on the list… Full Story »

What Puts Fans In the Seats?
Baseball Analysts &bull Mar 2, 2010
One of the important questions to team management is how to put fans in the stands. Obviously winning ballgames helps, but the question is how much and in what way? Using data going back to 1950, I set out to create a model to help answer this question. Attendance has varied wildly from baseball's inception. In 1950, the St. Louis Browns drew just 3,300 fans per game. Meanwhile, teams now routinely draw more than 10 times that amount. Clearly the shape of this data is not going to be linear. To deal with this, I transformed the data by taking… Full Story »
