Summary: Benson From A to B
Comment: While John Benson was a pioneer - along with Glenn Waggoner - in perpetrating the growth of Fantasy Baseball through their publications time, technology, and passion seem to have deserted Mr. Benson in his lackluster coverage of minor league players.

Rating: 2
Summary: Dated, superficial analysis
Comment: Benson has been completely passed by a number of other products, both online or off. His analysis of minor leaguers is superficial, and his understanding and presentation of the material is clearly inferior to people like John Sickels, the Baseball Prospectus team, and Ron Shandler. This book is indicative of laziness, both in terms of putting together the cursory, ill-researched commentary, and the scope of material presented. For the same price, you can buy a much better book.

I've been a Benson fan for years, but this is the last one of his books I'll be purchasing. There is no single thing in this book that you can't get, often at a higher quality, for free, on the web.

There is absolutely no reason to purchase this book instead of STATS' Minor League Scouting Report. None whatsoever.

Save your money. I wish I did.

Summary: Great Baseball Book, The Best Book On The Minor Leaguers
Comment: This is the finest book on minor leaguers, even if you are not a rotisserie player. The book is like having all of the teams' organizational grids and analyses all in one place. The amount of research done in such a short time is nothing short of phenomenal. Especially helpful when you go to spring training or when bidding for your rotisserie teams. They detail strengths and weaknesses of so many players that it is incredible. I wonder if my own local team has such a good scouting and research department as John Benson does.
