Let’s get right to the list…
1) Baseball Prospectus 2008
2) Bill James Goldmine 2008
3) Baseball America 2008 Prospect Handbook
4) Moneyball
5) Ron Shandler’s 2007 Baseball Forecaster
6) Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
7) Bill James Handbook 2008
8) Hardball Times Season Preview 2008
9) ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, Fifth Edition
10) Game of Shadows
This weeks list has the top five staying as is, just with a slightly different ranking. The Bill James Goldmine supplanted the BA Prospect Handbook at number two while Moneyball jumped over Ron Shandler’s Forecaster. By the way, I used Ron Shandler’s Forecaster for the first time this year in my fantasy draft and found it extremely helpful. There’s just enough text to give you an idea of which direction a player is going in a very quick manner.
The Yankee Stadium Retrospective made its debut on the list at number six and the other new book to the list is the ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, which came in at number nine. The Encyclopedia is a great book. It’s 1,700 pages of baseball so what more could you ask. The Minor League Baseball Analyst and Crazy ‘08 were the two casualties.
