I also recommend “The Hidden Game of Baseball”, That Neyer/James pitchers book, Bill James’ latest handbook, and Baseball Prospectus’s handbook. On “Baseball Between the Numbers”, I started reading it and loved it, but about 1/3 of the way through it my interest dipped and I quit reading it 1/2 way through it. The questions they attempted to answer got increasingly silly and irrelevant. The first 1/3 of the book is brilliant, but it gets rather repetitive. As with any baseball analysis book, it’s important to remember that the journey which the author takes to reach his answer is much more important than the actual answer at which he arrives. The same applies to this book.

Sorry. It needs to be released sooner than that.
