How did you come up with these #'s? I disgaree partially with the Sox and Cubs. Market size for the Sox is fine but why 11? i never go past 10 in MLB leagues that why I am questioning this. I have mine set at 7/9 and their payroll is decent at 125 mil. No player in my league makes more then 18. Sox have 3 making 10+
For the Cubs I have them at 9/6 They are rebuilding not going after overpriced FA's. Cubs are almost always over 3 million fans while Sox are almost always around 2.5 (might be proven wrong on this just going off of general knowledge as a Chicagoan). I also don't have any market size smaller then a 4 which is PIT, MIL & SD.
More interested how or why you came up with these #'s vs if my #'s are correct or not.
Houston is the 4th largest city, market size should be 7+ while fan interest should be 1.
