3.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy, April 18, 2002
By CGC (Marina del Rey, CA USA) - See all my reviews
As many noted in their reviews of this years Benson's A TO Z GUIDE (including me), Benson is getting sloppy. Once the ultimate authority on fantasy baseball strategy, he seems to be delegating more and more of the work put out under his name to others. His projection techniques don't reflect the new sabermetric tools pioneered by Shandler, Baseball Prospectus, and others, and his books reflect slipshod editing...if they're edited at all.

All this applies to this year's ROTISSERIE BASEBALL ANNUAL. The strategy essays are virtual reprints from previous editions. The position-by-position analysis of each MLB team is somewhat useful, but each is written by a different writer, most of whom don't seem to be using the same yardsticks. In other words, there's little overall consistency. The bottom line recommendations are meager and wishy-washy, and the book doesn't look like it's even been proofread.

I used to swear by Benson, but unless the A TO Z GUIDE reverts to its previous format, this is the last year I'm giving him my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Benson's Rotisserie Baseball Annual, April 15, 2000
By Politico (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This book is like no other for those who play fantasy baseball. It breaks down each team by position and tells you who is the starter, who is the up-and-comer, and who is on their way over the hill. It also projects the key statistics for each player for the 2000 baseball season, analyzing such important facts as how the player fits into the team, where he hits in the batting order, differences in stats vs. right-handed and left-handed pitchers and the like. It gives the avid fantasy baseball fan a wealth of useful informtaiton about the players in easy to understand discussions; and the information is easy to find! This book is the one book you should have to help you on your way to the top of your league. If you don't already own it, I have two words of advice for you: "Buy it!"

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Finest, April 12, 1999
By A Customer
A rotisserie lover's dream in a highly readable format. Unlike a lot of other books in this genre, this does not become outdated as quickly. Very insightful.
