Item description from seller

xvi, 628, [2] pages. Foreword by Keith Olbermann. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Baseball Prospectus (BP) is an organization that is devoted to the sabermetric analysis of baseball. BP has a staff of regular columnists and provides advanced statistics as well as player and team performance projections on the site. Since 1996 the BP staff has also published a Baseball Prospectus annual as well as several other books devoted to baseball analysis and history. Baseball Prospectus has fathered several popular new statistical tools that have become hallmarks of baseball analysis. Baseball Prospectus is accredited by the Baseball Writer's Association of America. Four of Baseball Prospectus's current regular writers are members of the Baseball Writer's Association of America and thus eligible to vote for nominees for Major League Baseball's post-season awards and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Contributors include: William Burke, Clifford J. Corcoran, Clay Davenport, Neil Demause, Kevin Goldstein, Gary Huckabay, Derek Jacques, Jay Jaffe, David Laurila, Ben Lindbergh, Marc Normandin, Caleb Peiffer, John Perrotto, and Nate Silver. 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. First Edition, First Printing this year (14th Edition of this series).
