Summary: If You Care About Being Informed
Comment: Whether you want the advantage in winning a fantasy baseball league or simply want to sound intelligent when discussing the sport of baseball, this book provides unbelievably in-depth analysis found no where else, and does so in an often humorous way.
Rating: 5
Summary: The best book for intelligent statistical analysis
Comment: I first encountered Gary Huckabay years ago on the internet before most people knew what the internet was. I made a point of reading his postings because he always had something interesting to say. He still does - although Huckabay is listed only as the editor of this book, the writing reflects his style.
There are a lot of stats books but this is one of the few that has good commentary to go along with the numbers. It's not just a reference book - it's fun to read. It's especially valuable now that Stats, Inc. has been taken over and homogenized by The Sporting News.

Summary: Not as funny as 2002, but an improved resource
Comment: BASEBALL PROSPECTUS is one of the best sabermeticians' baseball resources out there, and thanks to witty, perceptive player commentaries, very accessible to the less numerically inclined. This should not be considered a resource for fantasy baseball players, but is useful for them as well.
In 2002, PROSPECTUS carried only "translated" player statistics--actual numbers adjusted for park and league effects. The theory is that without taking context into account, it is impossible to measure the value of players relative to one another.
The theory is solid, obviously, but the 2003 edition carries both the actual and the translated statistics, which makes it a much more useful all-in-one resource. You no longer have to go flipping through another book to find what a player actually did.
The player write-ups continue in the humorous but incisive PROSPECTUS tradition, though the humor seems to be a bit less sharp this year. It seems they've decided to be a little more serious and straightforward.
