Inhaltsangabe:

Here's the book that ESPN Sportszone's Rob Neyer called "the best book of its kind." Now extensively updated for the 2001 season, the Baseball Prospectus analyzes every top player in each organization all the way down to rookie ball, with objective, intelligent commentary and irreverent humor. The Prospectus gives the final word on what the players did, why they did it, and what they're going to do in the future. Readers will get the in-depth statistics covering every crack of the bat from the 2000 season they would expect. They'll also find entertaining essays on every team, and articles on special-interest topics not found anywhere else. Sprinkled throughout are touches of irreverent humor to keep the fun quotient high! The ever-popular and exclusive Davenport Translations again compare performances across leagues and ballparks, analyze pitchers' win-loss records, take into account bullpens and run support, and still feature some of the most accurate hitting statistics available. The Baseball Prospectus is the best value out there. To get the information packed into the all new 2001 edition, fans would need to buy several of the other baseball annuals. It's comprehensive enough for serious fantasy base-ball enthusiasts who need superior depth and insight, yet entertaining for casual fans wanting a way to better understand the intricacies of the game.
