Win %–
–GM WAR — wins above a replacement GM (org-adjusted, shrunk; per season)
–Depth — 2+ WAR regulars per season (the breadth that drives TAB, not stars)
–Dead WAR — WAR/yr bled by sub-replacement players (closer to 0 = better)
–Dead money — payroll on <0.5-WAR players (lower = better)
–Cheap-talent surplus — $/yr of value from cost-controlled (pre-arb/arb) players above their pay; the selection engine, and the stickiest GM skill we track
–Drafted surplus — cheap-talent surplus from his own draftees (the develop-from-the-draft engine)
–Traded-for surplus — cheap-talent surplus from cost-controlled players he acquired via trade
–Int'l surplus — cheap-talent surplus from his own international signees
+0.0TAB — talent above budget — roster-construction alpha (talent your budget bought above expectation), tenure total
+0.0WAB — realized wins (TAB + the non-repeatable luck of converting talent to wins)
–Acquisition Leverage — playoff pts per acquired WAR, graded once in the year each deal's wins arrive (the repeatable decision skill)

WAB = wins above what the team's payroll predicted (resource-controlled). WAR surplus = era-neutral value (WAR minus payroll in win-equivalents). Roster surplus $M = dollar value of WAR over cost. Build channels (realized fWAR): HG = home-grown via amateur draft / international signing; Trade = acquired minus surrendered (incl. purchases/waivers); FA = signed minus walked; R5 = Rule-5 / minor-league-draft pickups. Credit follows the acquisition year — home-grown to the regime at the player's draft/signing (not whoever was in the chair when he peaked), trade/FA/R5 to the GM who made the move. Players acquired as prospects before debuting (e.g. Smoltz, Bagwell; Rule-5 picks like Uggla) are counted as trade/R5, not home-grown. All are franchise-level outcomes during the stint, not solely attributable to one executive.
Each point is a team-season: x = relative payroll (× league average), y = win %. Gray = every team 1985–present; orange = Salty Saltwell's teams. The dashed line is the win% that payroll predicts — points above it won more than their budget bought, and that vertical gap (in wins) is WAB.
Each point is a team-season: x = relative payroll, y = team WAR (talent, per 162 games). Gray = every team; orange = Salty Saltwell's teams. The dashed line is the talent payroll predicts — points above it built more WAR than their budget should buy, and that gap is TAB.
