Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Packed with statistics, analysis, and attitude for the information age, Baseball Prospectus is the essential guide for the 3.4 million serious fantasy baseball players, and the perfect game-side companion for millions more seamheads who want to understand the inside game.

Baseball Prospectus gives in-depth actual data and performance analysis of 1600 players, more than any other guide, covering the majors and minors, the top 40 prospects, draft choices, and rookie ball. It features essays on every team and gimlet-eyed evaluations of at least 50 players per organization. It's the final word — delivered in a wry and witty style — on what pitchers and hitters really did in 2004, and how they'll do in 2005 and beyond.

Synopsis:

Packed with statistics, analysis, and attitude for the information age, "Baseball Prospectus" is the essential guide for the 3.4 million serious fantasy baseball players, and the perfect game-side companion for millions more who want to understand the inside game.

Synopsis:

Don't think there's merit in the idea of analyzing baseball players using sophisticated statistical tools? Maybe you should talk to the deliriously happy members of Red Sox nation, whose team is run by Theo Epstein, a disciple of the BP way of thinking. Where can fans and fantasy players get this same inside intelligence that's revolutionizing Major League front offices? Baseball Prospectus.
