Transformative, seminal work
6 giugno 2011
Di Phils fan
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Brossura
If you like baseball and you like stats, you'll love this book. No math skills are required, yet you can appreciate the methodical research and analysis that went into this book. It transformed the way I watch defensive plays now. The author exposes the obvious ways in which the Gold Glove has been awarded to the wrong players. Separate chapters are devoted to each position, with the author creating his own rankings by era. I didn't know that the best fielding short-stop and third baseman played side by side on the same team! If you enjoyed Moneyball, this is a must, as it applies metrics to fielding, a feat that has never before been fully accomplished. The book does not need to be read cover to cover. It is written in a user-friendly fashion that allows one to use it as a reference book as well. I highly recommend it.

A facsinating journey into the world of baseball defense and the often unsung heroes of baseball history.The author searched long and hard for interesting stories that make players both from my youth and from the older days of baseball really come alive, and the relative rankings are alot of fun to consider. Terrific for anyone who enjoys age old arguments about 'who was the best' at any given position - a fun and entertaining read -

Great Advance In This Field!
13 ottobre 2011
Di MARTYN BABITZ
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Brossura
The Author has done what other giants in this field of study, Bill James among them, could not, in producing a means of analyzing the measure and value of defense to complement the other values of offense and pitching that have been accomplished in the Sabermetrics field. At a time when objective means of determining the value of players has been brought to the forefront by the success of the movie "Moneyball," this book provides tremendous insight and value both for baseball insiders and fans alike. Meticulously researched and extremely well-written. Highest recommendation. Bravo!
