Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Unlike most annual statistics books, the Baseball Prospectus includes a brief textual analysis for each player and full write-ups for all the teams, including the two new expansion teams. The player stats are pared down to the basics of hitting and fielding, and also include predictions for the 1998 season. The team write-ups are lively, recapping the 1997 season and offering likely scenarios for 1998.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book, August 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Baseball Prospectus: 1998 (Paperback)
The one reviewer made the comment that any such book should use "real" stats, instead of adjusted. That defies all principles of statistical analysis! Such an approach would render the book useless, and the reviewer's comments should be struck from this collection of reviews because that reviewer is obviously unqualified.

I found the book incredibly useful, because the author made every attempt to render accurate information.

This review is from: Baseball Prospectus: 1998 (Paperback)
This book, and every one in the series is great. Great tips, insight and humour covering all the teams in MLB and every minor league "prospect". A must have for rotisserie league participants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sources for stats and candid commentaries, January 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Baseball Prospectus: 1998 (Paperback)
Fantastic reference book for the fantasy baseball owner, provides honest evaluations of each teams organization and not just the high-profile players. Provides interesting projections and is willing to take risks - does not say that every player is the best or greatest - in fact is highly critical of most players reserving superlatives for super players. Well worth the money - just don't share with your fellow fantasy league team owners.
