Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: I miss his essays!, February 4, 2001 By  Charles Warman (Wichita Falls, TX) - See all my reviews    Bill James may be one of the most brilliant baseball analysts ever, and he put Sabremetrics (the advanced statistical analysis of baseball) on the map. But in my opinion he's even more gifted as a writer than he is as a statistician. And somehow I feel that these days, he's mainly lending his name to the work - worthy though it may be - of others, in order to give it instant credibility. Find yourself an old copy of This Time Let's Not Eat The Bones (or The Historical Baseball Abstract, or any of the early Abstracts), settle down with it on a rainy March afternoon, and you'll see what I mean. Bill, wherever you are, it's time to stop living off your royalites. We miss your inimitable, trenchant, hilarious PROSE!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Has career stats of every active major leaguer, and even projections for the fantasy league owner to use. I purchase this book every year.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (
