so im sitting here, looking at john's list of upcoming top 20s, and finding myself getting very anxious about not seeing the marlins coming up anytime soon. it was then i realized, my god, im an idiot. why dont i just buy his book? not only am i not getting the full player descriptions anyway, but i am literally craving his marlins top 20 list, which i can own by buying his book and putting next to my toilet permanently.

has anyone else here not bought john's book? am i the only straggler?

Go get it now

Get John's book now. You won't regret it. I have all 4 of his prospect books and before that I used to read his books when he was with Stats inc.

They never disappoint and his prospect write ups have been a huge reason why my fantasy team is a juggernaut.

Sure, every once in a while I'll take his advice on a prospect and draft a guy like Alexi Ogando, but that's rare.

John is a great writer, his reports are in depth, informative and entertaining. There are tons of prospects to read about so it's worth the money.

C'mon man

You should know better. John's book is also serving as the Marlins media guide this year. It's a must have for every Marlins fan. The only drawback to it is that it doesn't feature anything on Miguel Cabrera or Dontrelle Willis.

becoming clearer to me now...

the colors of the book are blue and black.

The lack of printing on the spine wasn't a "mistake" but rather an opportunity for John to "double-dip" and sell these on the corners as "official" 2006 Marlins' Media Guides.

Brilliant, I tell ya'!

I am now in the W's

in the book. Excellent read. Good write-ups. Willing to admit when he doesn't have enough info. Willing to go out on a limb for some prospects. Willing to cut some players down.
And good lines like this (paraphrasing):
He manufactures groundballs like Tom DeLay manufactures bad legislation.
