What Customers Say About Baseball Prospectus 2007: The Essential Guide to the 2007 Baseball Season:

Everything you want to know and more for a pre-season review of all the players.

This book was bigger than I thought, it has lots of useful information.Much of this stuff is on the internet but easier to read on a trip this way.

No guide will be "deadly accurate."The best feature is the extent to which this guide covers top minor leaguers. Because the "deadly accurate" PECOTA evaluations, though probably at least a little better than most forecasting models, can still be completely off target. Here, the criticism really is, almost always, "deadly accurate." For fantasy baseball players, especially those in keeper leagues, there is nothing better. If there's nothing better, why only four stars. And they also translate stats from the minor leagues, (including the Mexican league), and to some extent from the Japanese league.Another great feature is the extended review they give to each front office in the majors during the previous year.

New for the 2007 edition is an analytical review of the 2006 manager for each team. The latest in a long series of insightful, analytical reviews of major league baseball players and teams utilizing statistical analysis and other analytical techniques (e.g., econometrics). Baseball Prospectus is the essential baseball reference.

This book must be kept near the TV for ready reference on all Major League players.
