The bestselling annual baseball preview from the smartest analysts in the business

The essential guide to the 2010 baseball season is on deck now, and whether you're a fan or fantasy player-or both-you won't be properly informed without it. Baseball Prospectus 2010 brings together an elite group of analysts to provide the definitive look at the upcoming season in critical essays and commentary on the thirty teams, their managers, and more than sixty players and prospects from each team.

  • Contains critical essays on each of the thirty teams and player comments for some sixty players for each of those teams
  • Projects each players stats for the coming season using the groundbreaking PECOTA projection system, which has been called "perhaps the game's most accurate projection model" (Sports Illustrated)
  • From Baseball Prospectus, America's leading provider of statistical analysis for baseball

Now in its fifteenth edition, this New York Times bestselling insider's guide remains hands down the most authoritative and entertaining book of its kind.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Great reading, even for a novice   April 9, 2010
Apache Fog (Portland, OR USA)
This is my first BP so I can't compare to previous editions, but so far I've been absolutely glued to it for the last four days. The writing is superb, and the information is concise without being overwhelming. I would not only purchase it again, but I will likely purchase future editions as well.


5 out of 5 stars A Different Way To Look At Things   April 8, 2010
Mark J. Geldon
This book looks at the up coming 2010 season from a different way. It not only predicts a teams fate, it also predicts individual players performance for the up coming season. I like this different point of view.


5 out of 5 stars Mind-Boggling Baseball Bible   March 30, 2010
N. Bilmes (Vernon, CT United States)
BP 2010 delivers the goods. Projections for every player based on the famed PECOTA scores; mini-essays on each player of relevance in the majors and most from the minors; mega-essays for each major league team that delve into the philosophy and player development programs of all the teams. Even, better, the list of the top-100 prospects in the game at the back of the book.

I read the entire book over the course of 3 weeks, as there is too much information to be absorbed from a fast reading. The book has been on the desk next to me during all of my fantasy baseball drafts, and when I need to go looking for upside in the late rounds, that prospect list is invaluable.

This year's version has far fewer typos than last year's!



5 out of 5 stars Book for the casually serious fan   March 26, 2010
PCorNotPC!ThatIsTheQuestion (Ithaca, NY)
If you are serious about baseball, this book gives an insiders look with strong statistics but is readily accessible to someone who is not a math geek.


4 out of 5 stars Best Book of it's Kind   March 20, 2010
Joseph C. Sweeney (Portland, Maine)
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.
