Fantasyland: A Sportswriter's Obsessive Bid to Win the World's Most Ruthless Fantasy Baseball
Starred Review* Fantasy sports leagues are ubiquitous. For the uninitiated, fantasy games comprise a competition among individuals based on statistics of players they select in a real sport--in this case, baseball. Walker, a Wall Street Journal sportswriter, initially avoided contact with fantasy baseball--too geeky--but after burning out on such real-life baseball subjects as steroid scandals, labor strife, and contract negotiations, he decided to write about the game's fantasy side after all. He wangled himself a spot in one of the most prestigious fantasy leagues and decided to research in person the team he would pick. The result was a tour of a dozen spring-training sites in Florida and Arizona during which he spoke to players, coaches, general managers, and trainers. And, of course, he availed himself of the fantasy traditionalist's potpourri of statistical reports, online sites, and daily box scores. It's all great fun, written with humor and a twinkling eye directed at the lunacy of it all; but fantasy baseball and its attendant statistical reliance has spawned an internecine baseball war between old-school traditionalists (most scouts, for example) and the numbers people, many of whom have fantasy backgrounds. In offering a fascinating analysis of this underlying conflict within the sport, Walker gives his account of fantasy fanaticism an unexpected and satisfying depth

Baseball Hacks: Tips & Tools for Analyzing and Winning with Statistics
Baseball Hacks isn't your typical baseball book--it's a book about how to watch, research, and understand baseball. It's an instruction manual for the free baseball databases. It's a cookbook for baseball research. Every part of this book is designed to teach baseball fans how to do something. In short, it's a how-to book--one that will increase your enjoyment and knowledge of the game.
So much of the way baseball is played today hinges upon interpreting statistical data. Players are acquired based on their performance in statistical categories that ownership deems most important. Managers make in-game decisions based not on instincts, but on probability - how a particular batter might fare against left-handed pitching, for instance.
The goal of this unique book is to show fans all the baseball-related stuff that they can do for free (or close to free). Just as open source projects have made great software freely available, collaborative projects such as Retrosheet and Baseball DataBank have made great data freely available. You can use these data sources to research your favorite players, win your fantasy league, or appreciate the game of baseball even more than you do now

Players I will Give Weight to
Ok, usually the first few round are easy
The first two or three rounds are easy. Usually, this is a given, you pick Rodriquez, Pujols, Howard, Ortiz, Ramirez, Guerrero, Reyes, etc. But what about after the 5th round or later, I lucked out this by picking Josh Beckett in the 5th round. Why? Well, the previous year (2006) Beckett was a touch above average, he was young 27, playing for an excellent team, he could only get better, so I picked him in the 5th round. I also picked Wang in 12th round, but gave up on him too early in the season and dropped him! What a mistake that turned out to be! I also picked up CC Sabathia in the 8th round. He had another excellent year! There were many predictions that this was the Indians year, so I figured it was going to be Sabathia's year. Well my pitching stats were pretty good, my hitting stats took a beating and dragged me down. More Red Sox Stockings from Amazon
