Book Reviews of The Bill James Handbook 2008
Book Review: A Perfect Book For the Baseball Fanatic
Summary: 5 Stars
When the Sporting news stopped publishing their annual Baseball Register, I was Very dissapointed. However after finding about the Bill James Baseball Handbook there was once again Hope for this Baseball Fanatic.
The Differences in the books are simple. Bill James' Book Is a Much Easier read With a treamendous amount of extra Statistics. The Only Pluses that the Sporting News book had were 1. It had Career Transaction records. and 2. All Players That played in the majors the previous Season,In Order to gain entry into the book had ALL their Minor league Stats Listed as well as Career Major League Stats.
Bill James While Having A Ton More Stats. Only Lists Minor League Stats Of Players Who have One or Two Years in the Majors. After that only Major League Stats, and any Minor League stats From the Last Season Played if Any As Well as All Major League Stats Are Listed.
What I Really Like Is In The Career Register The Season Stats Are Combined For A Grand Total and then They are Separated if Two or more Teams Are Played for In a Given Season. Overall I Hope They Publish This Book as Long As The Game of Baseball Lasts- Which I hope Is Forever.
All in All A Five Star Book.
