FanGraphs.com 2012 Org Rankings

FanGraphs.com is doing its annual ranking of the organizations in Major League Baseball. I thought I would make some star plots. This year I'm going to try doing the plots a little differently.



Some notes:

• The rankings go from upper left (Baltimore, 30th place) to lower right (New York Yankee, 1st place). 
• The lowest score is Houston's 2012 Outlook.
• The highest score is the NYY's Finances.
• For the teams with the lowest 15 overall rankings, 11 of them have higher 2013+ Outlook scores than 2012 Outlook scores. For the teams in the top 15 overall rankings this is reversed; 11 have 2012 Outlook scores higher than 2013+ Outlook scores.

Some interesting shapes:

• Tampa Bay and their top 10 ranking but minuscule finance score 
• Philadelphia and their high overall ranking but poor 2013+ and Operations scores
• The bottom heavy Chicago Cubs (which should give Cubs fans some hope).

Here's the same data for 2012 presented in a different format.
