That is an interesting graphic. The Marlins are inverse of the Yankees - no payroll, no hits, no wins. Interesting again that the Reds are almost exactly at the central juncture of pay and hit average - just below in both.
One thing which effects the chart is that some of these players are injured or in the minors. For example, both A Rod, Ryan Ludwick, Rafael Furcal, and Jorge Soler are in the mix. While these are still contract inefficiencies, they are for much different reasons.
Cool charts though. I really enjoyed the one with the individual players on it.
Cozart actually comes across as a decent bang for the buck. (based upon this criteria)

The Yankees could not be run any worse if it was an front office full of chimps.
Rounding third and heading for home...
