5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!, November 23, 2000
By R. J. Pals (Indiana USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A to Z Professional Scouting Guide (Benson's A to Z Baseball Scouting Guide) (Paperback)
Not many people can get more complete, concise, and detailed scouting reports than those contained in this book. Every year, this relates (almost) all useable info about every player who's got a chance to play in the big leagues, plus big prospects still in the works. Any baseball fan would like this.

1.0 out of 5 stars A to Z Professional Scouting Guide falls short, January 3, 2001
By John Evanoff (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A to Z Professional Scouting Guide (Benson's A to Z Baseball Scouting Guide) (Paperback)
A to Z Thumbnail Sketches of all MLB players is a more appropriate title. This book falls well short of the other John Benson books and frankly I'm surprised he has his name on it. The comments written regarding each player could have easily come from a casual observer and surely there were no scouts involved in the making of this book. Its great for the beginner fan just getting involved but most of the bios and forecast seem like something right out of the team's annual player guide. A far better guide of all players is Sheehan's annual Baseball Prospectus and sells for less. It's published about a month later than Benson's book and includes comments regarding most of the off season trades and free agent signings. For the advanced fan my advice is wait for Sheehan's book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sadly mediocre, February 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A to Z Professional Scouting Guide (Benson's A to Z Baseball Scouting Guide) (Paperback)
This book has promise: bios on a wide variety of players, from the Majors to even a few guys in college or indy ball. But, the assessments occasionally contain inaccuracies or outdated information that makes this book a secondary source, at best. The Baseball Prospectus offers a better (albeit more sabremetrical
