 Baseball Prospectus 2008 March 27, 2008
Great information with some humor. A great book. The analysis of the teams and players is fantastic!
Good, but can be improved March 26, 2008
Still a very thorough but concise guide to everybody with less typos and misinformation than in the past. One thing that's annoying is everyone who's changed teams is still listed with their former team and I think more players could be included.
 Not a fan March 26, 2008

Nothing here that you can't glean for yourself if you have a PC and know how to use Excel. Anyone can run numbers and models, and really that's all you get.
The "writing" (purposeful quotes) is painful.
Buying this book is no different than putting a match to your money.
Still great, but... March 25, 2008

This is my sixth edition, and this book is still a great way to get ready for the season.
But the writing has taken a distinct turn toward the serious. The essays and player profiles are still chock full of relevant numbers and piercingly well-considered arguments, but this year they are also somewhat...I really don't want to say it...tedious.
What was once a light-hearted romp through some serious baseball thinking is now rather dense and dry. I'll buy again next year, but I hope somebody sends them a keg of Lighten-Up.

BP sets the standard, not just for baseball books but for all annuals of any genre. The depth and breadth of coverage seems to grow each year. Whether you're a fantasy player or a hard core fan, this book is indispensable.
