I was wondering what current baseball guides and reference books people at this board use... I bought the Baseball Prospectus and the Hardball Times 2007 editions around this time last year, only to discover that both of them were about as interesting as reading the phone book... the Baseball America almanac was fairly user-friendly, so I've ordered that one again.
Unfortunately, the old Street & Smith's annual and the Sporting News Dope Book (yes, I know I'm showing my age again) are both long gone, so I hardly know where to turn... and I just got a note from Amazon.com telling me that my copy of Cecilia Tan's Bombers Broadside for 2008 won't be shipped until sometime in May...
So, what guide would anyone recommend to a non stat-rat whose eyes glaze over at the very mention of SABRmetrics, win shares, PECOTA projections and the like?... Thanks in advance!
