So you’re saying the hot chick several posts below is NOT going to appear on the cover of the book? In fact, no chicks appear at all?

RIPOFF!

Questions for anyone actually but John may be able to answer it the best

1. How long have you been publishing the prospect handbook?
2. Is there any way to get a book or books from previous years?

Thanks.

John’s first book was for STATS, in 1996. We started publishing under the current title in 2003. We still have hard copies of books from the following years: 2003, 2007,2008,2009. Email if you want to order any/all of these volumes.

Thanks for the response!

Definitely going to order the 2010 edition either today or tomorrow and then either the 03 or 07 version as well. I will be emailing either you or John shortly :-)

John can answer best but...

looking at the intro to one of his books he says that his first one was in ’’96, his first self published one in 2003. The first one I have is 2000, with #1 prospect Corey Patterson and #2 Rick Ankiel.

Shame

I was hoping for Mila.

My podcast. I'd be very appreciative of any listeners-for enjoyment, criticism, or otherwise.

The only good thing about Lawrence is apparently the post office is hard working, grumbled the KSU alum.

Thanks J & J.
