Top Ten Ways Your Friends Will Know You Haven't Read Baseball Prospectus 2010
10. You think signing Jason Bay for $66 million was a great move, and wish Omar Minaya had gone harder after Bengie Molina and Jarrod Washburn. 9. You drafted Derek Jeter and Derrek Lee early in your fantasy league this year. 8. You can't imagine why we'd need their new pitching stat--SIERA--when we already have ERA. 7. You think this might be Houston's year. 6. You've never heard of Jesus Montero, Jason Heyward, or Mike Stanton. 5. You've heard of Montero, Heyward, and Stanton, but without BP's new "MLB %" playing time projection, you overdrafted them. 4. You think your team will be better than the Yankees this year. 3. You're not bleary-eyed from staying up all night reading hundreds of pages of smart stats and witty commentary. 2. The name Matt Wieters doesn't make you giggle a little. 1. You're Brian Sabean.

If you're a fan of the game and don't read BP, you might be misinformed, if not ill informed, about baseball. Great stuff, as usual. Highly recommended and thankfully there's an index this year.

Reviewer: W. B. Gray, california
Baseball Prospectus has had some personnel changes and the current roster is stronger in mathematicians than writers. This edition is dull. The imagination is all in the statistics, whereas the team sections tend to be boring recaps of the 2009 season that could have been written by anyone; there's no insight here. I usually look forward to this annual and tear through it greedily, but this year it keeps putting me to sleep.
