I've had mine for 3 or 4 days now....read it all.

This is my first experience at more than dabbling into sabremetics and such...it was meh.

PECOTA seems very flawed and picks regressions for about every player. They have a ton of very young prospects in the top 50 (A ball guys...) and Im not sold on their EQBA/EQSLG/EQOBP. I found the base-running article to be very interesting, even if somewhat flawed.

All in all, a good read (and I read damn near every players bio as well). However, its to be taken in with my other reading materials. It offers a different way to view players, not the end all, and some of their projections just didn't really make a whole lot of since. Either way, a good read and worth the 17 bucks or whatever I paid for it at Borders.
