Synopsis
The 2009 edition of the New York Times bestselling guide to major league baseball that is simply "the best book of its kind" (Rob Neyer)
Now in its fourteenth edition, the Baseball Prospectus annual is the industry leader among annual baseball guides and the rightful successor to Bill James's legendary bestselling Baseball Abstracts. The 2009 edition contains critical essays on each of the thirty teams and player comments for some sixty players for each of those teams. Each player's statistics are projected for the coming season using the groundbreaking PECOTA projection system, called "perhaps the game's most accurate projection model" (Sports Illustrated). Baseball Prospectus 2009 also contains cutting-edge essays on performance analysis, the likes of which have inspired twenty-nine of the thirty major league teams to hire current and former Baseball Prospectus writers and analysts as consultants. The baseball bible for fantasy players and devoted fans, Baseball Prospectus can be relied upon to once again hit it out of the park.

September 23, 2009: This is a great book for fans and general managers to review current players of how good they are and where they are at. it calculates the last three seasons into one future prospective season and the top 100 rookies in MLB.
I Also Recommend: Summer of '49, Baseball Prospectus, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Lineups, Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2009.
great info - no index?by ianmcg

June 22, 2009: I've enjoyed BP annual guides for years, probably gonig back to '99, lots of fun to read and ponder, even as a non-fantasy BB type. However this year inexplicably there is no index. The BP style is to group each player with the team with which they finished the previous year. This makes perfect sense given the late signings that have become common, and with an index it's a snap to find a player you're interested in. however with no index, it's basically impossible! not an issue with famous players, but with younger folks just coming on your radar, you really need that index. oh well, I hope it gets reinstated next year.
