BP Unfiltered: The Untitled Joe Sheehan Book |
Announcing Joe Sheehan's upcoming (as-yet-untitled) BP book project.
As you may already know, we tried self-publishing on for size last year with Pro Basketball Prospectus 2009-10 and College Basketball Prospectus 2009-10. We had a positive experience with those books, and we’re moving into self-publishing baseball material this year.

Prospectus Idol: Round Eight - Finals Week |
The last round of competition puts our final three on the spot with everything at stake, and all three gave us something special.
Ladies and gentlemen of the judging pool and everyone else besides, we hope you had a great weekend. It's Monday-one day later than we normally meet, but we had some extra work to do to get things squared up for our competition this week. As always, I'm Dave Pease, and this is the Prospectus Idol finale.

Prospectus Idol: Round Two - Fantasy |
Taking a spin in the fantasy realm, our nine contestants take their shot at providing fantasy players with takeaways for their own leagues.
Welcome to another week of the internet's most popular ripoff of the 800-pound gorilla of live-action talent contests-Prospectus Idol. Tortured metaphors aside, it's been seven days since we saw the last of our dashing pool of contestants' content, so let's dive right in.

Prospectus Idol: Round One - The Basics |
In our opening week of the competition, our contestants are getting back to basics.
It's finally here. The process that started over a month ago is now ready for your input. Our hard-working judges turned their critical eyes on hundreds of entries to winnow the field to ten worthy finalists. The finalists' play-in entries have been published, giving everyone a glimpse of what they can do. Now we've got the voting code, the front-page widget, and the display firmed up, and hopefully it doesn't break.

2004 HACKING MASS Results |
Brad Ausmus may have fallen short of the World Series, but he was an integral part of this year's HACKING MASS champion.
No matter what rooting interest you have, though, one thing ties us all together: that we could have had our own free HACKING MASS team this year. This year's competition attracted more than 1,300 competitors, most of whom attacked their Bizarro General Manager job description with gusto. If you don't know what HACKING MASS is, take a look at this year's Rules; we'll wait.
Now, let's break down this year's results.

2003 HACKING MASS Results |
The 2003 HACKING MASS All-Star team is a fetching mixture of the young and the old; the highly-regarded defensively with a sprinkling of butchers thrown in; members of good teams and members of awful ones. Elderly Astros catcher (and recipient of a brand-new two-year contract) Brad Ausmus, young Dodgers glove merchant Cesar Izturis, Most Valuable Player and Texas Ranger Colby Lewis, and Blue Jay starter Cory Lidle, who missed his traditional second-half stretch of high-octane pitching, all scored in the triple digits. White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, Orioles third baseman Tony Batista, Expos center fielder Endy Chavez, Athletics right fielder Jermaine Dye, and Lewis and Lidle were all selected for fewer than five HACKING MASS squads. A perfect roster was worth 937 points in 2003.

The Daily Prospectus: The Big Trade |
The 17th installment of Joe Sheehan's excellent newsletter appeared in my inbox last night, and it featured analysis of the big, weird Rockies-Marlins-Braves deal that was hinted at last week and finally agreed upon--pending approval from the commissioner's office--this weekend. In analyzing the deal, Joe puts the Rockies in the winner's column and gives the Marlins a goose egg.
