In the 7 years Hendry has been GM, the Braves have won a total of 11 more games than the Cubs, or less than 2 per season. The Dodgers have won 21 more games, or 3 per season. The Braves have been to the playoffs as many times as the Cubs, and the Dodgers have gone once more.

I didn't literally mean the immediate two teams on either side - I just meant the teams with comparable payrolls. Still, interesting to know.
