1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute waste of money, May 13, 2005

By	M. H. Mosher (Malone, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is living proof that anything can get published. I own every fantasy baseball book out there. This is the worst by far. I'd love to be in a league with the guys above me who thought the book was good. It's redundant garbage. It would only be of use to someone brand new to the hobby. Sabino's "ideas" are nothing more than retreaded common sense. He shamelessly plugs Sports Illustrated and ignores the real sources for fantasy info, like Ron Shandler's site.
All in all, I'm pissed off that I wasted my money on this garbage. If you want a good book on the subject, try Benson and Barron's Playing for Blood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gravitas., May 2, 2005

This book has tons of gravitas. More than you ever need. The cup overfloweth with gravitas, if you will.

2.0 out of 5 stars **did not fit**, March 9, 2006

By	Noel Jordan (Huntington, WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is aimed at a more traditional fantasy league. The league I am with allows a person to select a team from players throughout baseball history and does not involve a draft now the selection of a local commissioner. Although I did find parts of the text applicable, it just was not aimed at my league.
