Book Reviews of Baseball Prospectus 2003
Book Review: A must for any fantasy league owner or hardcore baseball fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Not a pocket book by any means, this year's Prospectus reaches deeply into each system, covering not just players on each team's 40-man roster, but rookie ball players and players who might be missed otherwise. As an example, the Angels section covered 53 players, with a paragraph written about each, and statistics covering each player's last three seasons. Minor league statistics are translated into major league numbers, and Nate Silver's PECOTA system is used to make 2003 projections, including probability of improvement, collapse, or a breakout season. The PECOTA system is explained in an essay at the end of the book, and it's more detailed than most projections I've seen, and a lot of thought has gone into it.However, the casual fan can still enjoy the book, in contrast to a lot of stat books found on the market. The book and its description of players doesn't take itself totally seriously, while keeping statheads happy with as much information as they can get. There are large articles on each team, going into detail how the teams got to where they are, and what to expect in the future. In addition, articles and essays on injuries, the new combined bargaining agreement, and a look at the book's top 40 prospects makes the Baseball Prospectus something you'll cling to for your fantasy draft, and keep going back to throughout the entire season.
