 This year is better than ever February 28, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've been a long-time fan of the Prospectus. For my money, it's the best of the baseball annuals. Probably nothing will ever quite match the old Bill James Baseball Abstracts of fond memory. But if you are looking for thorough and entertaining reviews of every player's performance from the 2007 season along with projections for the 2008 season, you will not find a better book. In past years, the Prospectus often had big time editing problems. This year the writing seems very clean with only a few very minor goofs. Last year there was also an inconsistency between the PECOTA comparables and the text discussion. That problem was avoided this year. Finally, although the book is still about as thick as the Manhattan phone directory, it appears to be printed on higher quality paper, thereby avoiding some of the blurred print that marred last year's book. In short: Buy and enjoy!
 A good book to hold you over until the real stats are compiled. February 28, 2008

I really like the Baseball Prospectus website and I've been buying these books yearly for a few years now. It features pretty decent write-ups and PECOTA projections for most players. I enjoy the books and enjoy looking at the projections for my favorite players (even though I don't think they've ever projected one of my players to have a better year!).
I do wish they'd start adding a little more to the book than they already do though. For instance this year they had a pretty decent write ups on fielder's arm values and pitcher counts. It'd be awesome if they'd throw in more than a few extra pages at the end of the book for stuff like this.
That being said it's a good book to have fun with while we wait for spring training to wrap up and the real thing to begin. Just don't be THAT guy that decides to quote PECOTA projections as his only legitimate baseball argument.
