Customer Reviews

This is best Rotisserie League Baseball book in years.

This book started it all and I've always liked the witty writing. Even if you don't play Rotisserie baseball this is a book you'll enjoy while waiting for opening day. I've played Rotisserie for years. If you do play Rotisserie -- wow! It's all here and then some. What more do we need? This year's book is their best in years. It's very entertaining and informative. The player profiles are a combination of original analysis, and wit. A great surprise is the book also has a meaty piece by Bill James himself. James leads off the whole thing with his own perspective on Rotisserie Baseball and as ususal, James gives us something to ponder. Read James on Gary Templeton, the Alex Rodriguez of the 1980s who never reached his potential. James' comments are something to think about. Bill James, John Benson and Glen Waggoner and friends in one book is a summit. Pretty impressive. If you want to know the deep thinking in the game, Benson's stuff on how to play and win, is great. And, thankfully, they've put the player prices back where they belong, right next to the players. There's good stuff on minor leaguers and they even have bid results from early 1999 auctions so I don't have to wait for Baseball Weekly to print the LABR auction results to see what the bids are. I stayed up half the night reading it cover to cover. it. This is the best Rotisserie League Baseball book in years. The King is back! I can't wait for opening day.
