Book Reviews of Future Stars: The Rookies of 2000-2001
Book Review: Dated, superficial analysis
Summary: 2 Stars
Benson has been completely passed by a number of other products, both online or off. His analysis of minor leaguers is superficial, and his understanding and presentation of the material is clearly inferior to people like John Sickels, the Baseball Prospectus team, and Ron Shandler. This book is indicative of laziness, both in terms of putting together the cursory, ill-researched commentary, and the scope of material presented. For the same price, you can buy a much better book. I've been a Benson fan for years, but this is the last one of his books I'll be purchasing. There is no single thing in this book that you can't get, often at a higher quality, for free, on the web.
There is absolutely no reason to purchase this book instead of STATS' Minor League Scouting Report. None whatsoever.
Save your money. I wish I did.
