Product Description:
The New York Times bestselling guide to major league baseball returns for the 2008 season
For over a decade, Baseball Prospectus has been the ultimate guide to the game for fantasy players, professionals, and casual fans alike. 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. Also included are projections of player stats for subsequent 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 2008 is as essential to the baseball-watching experience as hot dogs and cold beer.

The stats and projections are all fantastic. However, I found the essays lacking and the book as a whole didn't live up to my lofty expectations. Next year, I will probably forgo buying the book and just stick with my subscription to the web-site.

The Baseball Prospectus is year after year the best baseball preview around. The expanded team by team and players analysis will take you through the year. A great product
Rated by buyers -
This is an excellent resource for scouting baseball players for the upcoming season. Literally you get this book for $15, and compared with the magazines you get for $8, it is a great value. The book is full of stats you can't get anywhere else. Some in particular that I find valuable are the Groundball Percentages and new 'Stuff' rankings for pitchers.
They also don't just give you numbers, but supply you with a scouting report on pretty much any player who is likely to play in the majors in the upcoming season including minor leaguers.
Easily worth the $15 if you are trying to win a fantasy baseball league.
Rated by buyers -
The best baseball reference book by far! Informative, concise and humorous. Just wish it was larger!
