This is an excellent resource for scouting baseball players for the upcoming season. Literally you get this book for $15, and compared with the magazines you get for $8, it is a great value. The book is full of stats you can't get anywhere else. Some in particular that I find valuable are the Groundball Percentages and new 'Stuff' rankings for pitchers.

They also don't just give you numbers, but supply you with a scouting report on pretty much any player who is likely to play in the majors in the upcoming season including minor leaguers.

Easily worth the $15 if you are trying to win a fantasy baseball league.

The best preview around [Posted on 2008-04-04]
The Baseball Prospectus is year after year the best baseball preview around. The expanded team by team and players analysis will take you through the year. A great product

This is a great book! Great stats, good projections, good reading for the Fantasy and Baseball Fan

Good, but not great [Posted on 2008-04-30]
The stats and projections are all fantastic. However, I found the essays lacking and the book as a whole didn't live up to my lofty expectations. Next year, I will probably forgo buying the book and just stick with my subscription to the web-site.

The Baseball Bible for real fans [Posted on 2008-07-26]
I thought bitting humor and brutal honesty were gone once "The Scouting Report" wimped out and eventually died several years ago, but upon purchasing this book I am delighted to see the return of analysis - in written format - of MLB players and prospects. Zipperheads can get pure numbers anywhere but objective opinions about defense, arm strength and other subjective areas of the game are a rarity. This book is a gem that I hope continues. And continues to be humorous and brutally honest. I haven't seen previous years so I don't know if it's lost anything but my opinion is it still has plenty left. Check out Jack Cust if you think it has no balls left .... then read on for many more examples.
