John Burnson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2007

John Burnson's Graphical Player 2007 is a new way to view statistics. Instead of columns of numbers, it presents its data in the most natural and immediate way – visually. The new 4th edition includes more charts and graphs that ever before with more than 300 pitchers and 450 batters and upgrades to the player boxes. The book also includes daily performance logs, rolling rates of strikeouts, walks, and ground balls, each player’s career workload, career trends in fantasy values, and much more.

No, there's no dollar values for the players in this book. Since it's published in December, one could argue that values would not be accurate anyway. There's no predictions for 2007 performance data either. However, if you want a data analysis that gives you valuable insight into player performance, Burnson is one of the best.

The graphs are a little crowded, but they are the key to the value of this book. Spend a few minutes actually reading the preface and a whole new world of statistical analysis will be opened up.

This is the first year that this book has ventured beyond pitchers and into position players. The pitcher analyses alone justify buying this book, which is a good thing because the player analysis does not quite live up to the unique insight of the pitchers section.

If you are serious about Baseball and are willing to spend a little time to become familiar with Mr. Burnson's work, his research will really pay off. And if you need these graph's updated on a twice a week basis for fantasy leagues then you need Heater magazine at [...]. Follow the graphs during the year and you will see who's getting it done, who should be getting it done and finally who will soon be getting it done. His research , to me, is on par with Baseball Forecaster and then some. Fabulous.
