Customer Reviews

The only book you need for draft day

I've used this book to the letter the past 5 years in my league and have never finished below 2'nd place. The salary guidelines listed are excellent, and the book is well organized. It is easy to find a player immediatly during the draft, and view his statistics. The synopsis on each player is helpful, and funny. The minor league reviews are good for names, but aren't always timely. The book also fails to capture the correct team of late free agent signees, but assesses the players based on statistics. Waggoner does not project stats as a means of his rankings, rather he ranks players based on achievement. Other books try to rank the value of players based on the author's projected stats for the upcoming year. Waggoner's ratings place high value on closers. If you use his salary guidelines on draft day, and don't overpay, you are guaranteed a very competitve team.

Best Overall Rotisserie Book Available

I have bought this book for years and every year it comes in handy. A must for any commissioner who is starting their league. Rules are from the founding fathers (of Rotisseire) and probably the best available. The author adds wit to the evaluations which make it easy to read. I couldn't recommend a better book on Roto.
