The Bill James Handbook 2012

The inspiration behind MONEYBALL?
Let's put it this way. Every time in MLB now buys into sabermetrics to one degree or another.

Maybe you've seen the movie MONEYBALL, maybe not. But you have observed the revolution in how baseball is thought about, prepared for, and played. It begins every year with The Bill James Handbook- the first, best, most complete annual baseball reference guide available. Full of exclusive stats, this edition is a comprehensive resource on every hit, pitch, and catch in Major League Baseball's 2011 season- and includes the first player projections for 2012.

Key features this year include:
- NEW! Pitch Repertoire Section detailing pitch type breakdowns for all pitchers in baseball
-NEW! Rotation vs. Bullpen team charts showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of each team's pitching staff
-ANNOUNCING! The 2011 Fielding Bible Awards
-REVISED! Relief Pitcher Section
-UPDATED! The Hall of Fame Monitor
-PLUS! Pitcher Projections, Hitter Projections, Base-running Analysis, Manufactured Runs, Team Efficiency Summary, Park Indices, Manager Tendencies, Player Win-Shares, Career Targets, and career data for every 2011 major leaguer (and a few bonus players)
