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 next year, as determined by the groundbreaking PECOTA system, which Sports Illustrated has called “perhaps the game’s 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.

52008 Baseball Prospectus  Feb 23, 2009
Incredible compilation of standard and original statistics developed by the authors to clear away the distractions and focus on who the good players are and why. Exceptional and comprehensive work that includes all major league players as of the end of the previous season and minor leaguers and free agents likely to be on major league rosters at the end of spring training. This work is without peer, but has many who attempt to do so, to be so, and all with equal lack of success.

5The Baseball Bible for real fans  Jul 26, 2008
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.

3Good, but not great  Apr 30, 2008
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.
