Product Description The 2007 edition of the most authoritative guide to professional baseball Americas favorite pastime has never been more popular and, for over a decade, Baseball Prospectus has been the ultimate guide to the game for fantasy players, professionals, and casual fans alike. Baseball Prospectus 2007 continues that tradition, bringing together the top young baseball writers and analysts in the business to provide a definitive look at the season to come. Featuring humorous and incisive essays on all thirty teams and an in-depth look at every major league player and all the top prospects, Baseball Prospectus 2007 offers the cutting-edge analysis that has inspired nearly every major league team to seek the advice of current or former Prospectus writers. Also included are projections of player stats for next year, as determined by the groundbreaking PECOTA system, which Sports Illustrated has called perhaps the games most accurate projection model. The most authoritative and entertaining book of its kind, Baseball Prospectus 2007 is as essential to the baseball- watching experience as hot dogs and cold beer.

Great Book June 21, 2008 Everything you want to know and more for a pre-season review of all the players.
Lost of information May 14, 2008 This book was bigger than I thought, it has lots of useful information.
Much of this stuff is on the internet but easier to read on a trip this way.
The best August 16, 2007 For fantasy baseball players, especially those in keeper leagues, there is nothing better. If there's nothing better, why only four stars? Because the "deadly accurate" PECOTA evaluations, though probably at least a little better than most forecasting models, can still be completely off target. No guide will be "deadly accurate."
The best feature is the extent to which this guide covers top minor leaguers. And they also translate stats from the minor leagues, (including the Mexican league), and to some extent from the Japanese league.
Another great feature is the extended review they give to each front office in the majors during the previous year. Here, the criticism really is, almost always, "deadly accurate."
Baseball Prospectus 2007 June 11, 2007 The latest in a long series of insightful, analytical reviews of major league baseball players and teams utilizing statistical analysis and other analytical techniques (e.g., econometrics). New for the 2007 edition is an analytical review of the 2006 manager for each team. Baseball Prospectus is the essential baseball reference.
Wealth of info for baseball fans. May 29, 2007 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book must be kept near the TV for ready reference on all Major League players.
