I found this (http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=10257) fascinating.
For this article, I went through every player who played in the major leagues last season and figured out his WARP* and the team that first signed him to a contract, either as a draft pick, international free agent or undrafted player. I then determined each team's record based on the combined WARP of the player who originally belong to it. Next to a team's original player win-loss record, I list its actual record for 2009 and the amount of money it spent on payroll last year, according to bizofbaseball.com, in millions.
Hit the link to check out the results. Especially how the Reds fared. Pretty interesting.
