Summary: 2002 Edition
Review: Great annual guide which statistically breaks down the 2001 season. There is no commentary just pure stats which speak for themselves. Every player who appeared in the Major Leagues is in there. If you are interested in whose season was killed by a few bad months, who tailed off very badly at the end, who's stats were inflated by a home park advantage this is the book for you. If you would rather have some else look at this same stats and summerize the season in a couple of sentances wait for the annual magazines that come out. If you want to decide for your self then grab it. If you like stats it will be something you look forward to every year.

Summary: The most rotten book on the baseball stats market
Review: I bought the book, so I could use it as a reference to last season's baseball action. But when I open the book, I see that only the batters with 325+ at bats has all of their statistics. The others has just Day/Night, Left/Right and a few of them has month-by-month's record. If you want to throw money out off the window, be my guest.

Summary: 2002 Edition
Review: The Player Profiles annual is actually a book that should be used in conjunction with its companion Major League Handbook. Together, they give pretty much all you need. This particular book concentrates on presenting stats split fomat (L/R, home/away, clutch, and different pitching situations). Every year, I marvel at how fast they get this book out, ususally about six weeks after the regular season ends. Also, this book is so thorough, it has Ken (one AB)Huckaby in it. There have been a lot of gripes about this book in the other reviews, because of what this book leaves out. However, what many people fail to understand is that this particular book focuses more on situational splits, while the handook focuses more on the basic numbers. Things that you might be unable to locate in one of the pair of books you can usually find in the other. These books are invaluable baseball reference books. Every year it comes out in November and makes the waiting for baseball to start up in the spring a lot more managable. Thanks again for a great book STATS.

Summary: a great book of stats
Review: The stats for pitching and batting are everything you could ask for, but I don't understand why there is absolutely nothing on fielding. It doesn't even list the position that the players play next to their name. Why not?
