In 2009 the Detroit Tigers had the fifth largest MLB payroll, and they failed to win their division, and they failed to make the playoffs. They are now facing a 201 season with a lot of dead money on the payroll, and since they are located in a state with double digit unemployment figures it surely means that their attendance will fall.

After starting 12-17 the Arizona Diamondbacks fired their manger Bob Melvin, while that was probably the right move, their season may have already been lost. In fact since winning 90 games in 2007 this team has seen their victories drop by 10 a year that is a very bad trend that needs to be fixed in this off season. Sure they lost their ace, Brandon Webb for the season early on but good baseball teams are able to overcome those kinds of setbacks. I guess that means the Diamondbacks aren't that good of a team.
