bill james player rating book dave this has never happened to me before kirsch writes correction nied was the only player identified in this book as a grade a prospect who was exposed to the draft according to bill james in the stop the presses section preceding his player evaluations he valued nied at and said that nied s value does not increase significantly as a result of his selection although he did catch a break getting away from the strongest rotation in baseball i thought bill james latest book completely and totally sucked i bought it but will not purchase anything of his ever again without thoroughly looking at it first what tripe the book is inconsistent and filled with selective analysis james claims to be looking forward and then makes some absolutely bizarre statements of value not only that but i got the impression he probably glanced at the book for about an hour before he put his name on it to say i was disappointed is a grand understatement gary huckabay kevin kerr the al feldstein of the mid s a living argument for if there s anything we love more than a huge existence of parallel sig it s someone quoting lines to add universes or new ones and consecutive posts too
