PrintI am buried in the book right now. I will finish the Rays sometime Sunday and should have the Top 20 for you Sunday evening. After that, the next teams on the schedule are the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Baltimore Orioles, the Washington Nationals, and the Chicago Cubs. I am going to push really hard on the book this week.

Fair enough, except...
Do you enjoy toying with A’s fans by delaying Oakland’s preview for as long as you can? Because if that makes you happy, then by all means continue on your current path. Your happiness takes precedent over all other considerations, even those of your potential clients. What am I talking about, you already have my money!

Good news
The good news is that the Nats section should take about 15 minutes.

A quick question
I’ve gotten the Baseball America prospect book the past two years, and I’ll defiantly be getting it this year. I’ll also probably grab of copy of John’s book as well, but is there a sample review, or can somebody explain how it differs from the BA book?
Prospects
…are arranged in alphabetical order, with grades following them. So you can use it as a reference for prospects while ignoring team affiliation. He’s also got team indexes at the end, and top 50 position player/top 50 pitchers rankings at the front.

Good info
exactly the type of stuff I was looking for.
It's just different analyses
If you like what he says on this site, then you’re probably going to be interested by why he says in the book. He is probably somewhat more statistically interested, but I think BA also uses statistical analysis, and JS uses scout analysis as well. If there is a difference, it’s a matter of degrees.

That too...
Sorry if I wasn’t helpful… I paid more attention to organizational stuff.
