Book Reviews of Baseball Prospectus 2009: The Essential Guide to the 2009 Baseball Season
Book Review: Baseball Prospectus 2009
Summary: 4 Stars
Good stuff for Fantasy baseballers and for just plain fans who follow individual players and stats. I really enjoy Nate Silver's work here and on his political website fivethirtyeight.com His numbers help temper your "can't miss" expectations with down-to-earth statistics. My only quibble with this book so far is that the players are arranged in it by the team with which they ended last season. This makes it hard to compare third-basemen, for instance, because you have to look at every team's pages and then dig to find some guys who are not listed where you are now expecting them to be. The intro tells you this and mentions an "index" of players that will help you find these players, but my copy of the book seems to be missing that index.
Summary of Baseball Prospectus 2009: The Essential Guide to the 2009 Baseball Season
The 2009 edition of the New York Times bestselling guide to major league baseball that is simply "the best book of its kind" (Rob Neyer)Now in its fourteenth edition, the Baseball Prospectus annual is the industry leader among annual baseball guides and the rightful successor to Bill James's legendary bestselling Baseball Abstracts. The 2009 edition contains critical essays on each of the thirty teams and player comments for some sixty players for each of those teams. Each player's statistics are projected for the coming season using the groundbreaking PECOTA projection system, called "perhaps the game's most accurate projection model" (Sports Illustrated). Baseball Prospectus 2009 also contains cutting-edge essays on performance analysis, the likes of which have inspired twenty-nine of the thirty major league teams to hire current and former Baseball Prospectus writers and analysts as consultants. The baseball bible for fantasy players and devoted fans, Baseball Prospectus can be relied upon to once again hit it out of the park.
