MLB Profit Margins

Hey guys, here's a question. I am trying to find information that shows what MLB teams profit margins are. Someone mentioned to me that their profits are usually less than they pay their highest paid player, but I find that highly unlikely.

 

Then again, what do I know? Does anyone have a good resource for this type of question? I'm curious and would like to know how to compare these types of things. Thanks guys.

More valuable base stealer: Kinsler of Ellsbury?

Which player's stolen bases are more valuable to his respective team, Ian Kinsler's 26 steals at a 92% success rate or Ellsbury's 50 steals at 82%?

And what is more valuable for a team, a player stealing 25-30 bases at 90% or stealing 50-55 at 80%?

I have been debating this with a friend and I'm curious to hear other opinions. Thanks for your responses, I am looking forward to them.

Carlos Quentin

I'm curious what other people's opinions are related to Quentin's breakout year. I know he was a decent prospect, but do people think he's actually this good, or this year is going to be a fluke. Predictions for 2009 and beyond?

 

I think he's good, but I'm not sure he's this good.

A question about the book . . .

To John or anyone else who knows the answer.

I have been reading the site for a while, but just purchased the prospect book for the first time.  Does the newsletter come free with the purchase of the book? Or do I have to sign up for that elsewhere.  I enjoy reading and would like to know more.

Thanks
