Book Reviews of Baseball Prospectus 2008: The Essential Guide to the 2008 Baseball Season
Book Review: 2008 Baseball Prospectus
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
