There’s a couple of newcomers this week. It’s interesting how a few days can shift this list a lot. Just a couple of days ago, the 33 Year Old Rookie would have been near the bottom but it’s had a good showing while the ESPN Encyclopedia was moving up only to plummet off the list in the final days. I picked Sunday for no other reason then I usually have a little more time but this list changes, at least a little bit, every day.
Here’s how the top ten stands right now…
1) Baseball Prospectus 2008
2) Bill James Goldmine 2008
3) Moneyball
4) The 33 Year Old Rookie
5) Baseball America 2008 Prospect Handbook
6) Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
7) Ron Shandler’s Baseball Forecaster 2008
8) Bill James Handbook 2008
9) Hardball Times Season Preview 2008
10) Red Sox Rule
So The 33 Year Old Rookie and Red Sox Rule (haven’t picked it up but it looks like it’s mostly about Terry Francona) make their top ten debut. Moneyball still has some staying power and they’ve actually moved up to number three while the BA Prospect Handbook looks to be on it’s way out of the top five soon. They even got the right Ron Shandler’s Forecaster on the list this time.
Next week, I’d expect to see Rob Neyer’s new book on the list with it’s debut the following Tuesday. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Baseball Enyclopedia pop in and out of the top ten as other books with less staying power make their way down and out. Hope everyone had a good Easter.
