Buy This Book: Hardball Times 2008 Season Preview

The last couple of years, Jeff has written the Brewers chapter for the Hardball Times' Season Preview; this year, for the first time, they're publishing it as a physical book, rather than a PDF, and since Jeff has such messy handwriting the task fell to me instead (just kidding--you guys know I was Plan B).

It's an eminently worthy competitor to BP's annual; if you want to know more, THT has provided a general introduction to what the book is, as well as a sample chapter (unfortunately for you cheapskates, not the Brewers) and some interesting tidbits gleaned from reading it, featuring both Prince Fielder and Eric Gagne.

If you like what you see, please click here or on the giant picture above to buy the book. It's a deal, it's a steal, at $17.95; you'd rather have this book than a year of Penthouse, I promise (we got Gord Ash as our centerfold).

[editor's note, by Jeff] Thanks, bk. I, for one, am looking forward to reading the Brewers chapter. For what it's worth, I ended up writing the Orioles chapter. So consider this heartfelt plea for sales to be coming from the both of us.

Oh man
the sample stuff is the Sawx? Oh well. There should be a NL team to balance it out - (half kidding).

Regarding the interesting tidbits: there was an article in the St. Louis paper that talked about Pujol's health. Actually it was about their fan fest, but it mentioned that as recent as that was, P couldn't fully straighten his elbow. He talked about how much he had played with pain last season and how he wouldn't do it again. I hope my recollections are reasonably accurate. Maybe P won't hit so well.

I wonder if the projections are done assuming no injuries.

Wow
That's commitment, Jeff.  No one should have to analyze the Orioles.
