Book Reviews of Baseball Prospectus 2008: The Essential Guide to the 2008 Baseball Season
Book Review: The Baseball Bible for real fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought bitting humor and brutal honesty were gone once "The Scouting Report" wimped out and eventually died several years ago, but upon purchasing this book I am delighted to see the return of analysis - in written format - of MLB players and prospects. Zipperheads can get pure numbers anywhere but objective opinions about defense, arm strength and other subjective areas of the game are a rarity. This book is a gem that I hope continues. And continues to be humorous and brutally honest. I haven't seen previous years so I don't know if it's lost anything but my opinion is it still has plenty left. Check out Jack Cust if you think it has no balls left .... then read on for many more examples.

Baseball Prospectus 2008 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 groundbreaking essays on the performance of each of the thirty teams and an in-depth look at every major league player and all the top prospects, Baseball Prospectus 2008 offers the cutting-edge analysis that has inspired nearly every major league team to seek the advice of current or former Prospectus writers.
