Book Description
Historically, people that have had the most interest in fantasy baseball have been statistic junkies and lovers of baseball in general. People who immerse themselves into spreadsheets and stare at computer screens to develop strategies have made a name for themselves in the industry. With technological advancement in recent years however, this is no longer the case. Information is very accessible and easily compiled so that almost anyone can put together a team and compete in fantasy baseball with a reasonable amount of time, research, and luck. It is not nearly as difficult to find player statistics, trends, reports or any other type of information that you need to succeed in your league. When I began working on this book, many people asked me why I was writing it. What could this book offer that other published works didn’t already talk about? There is some truth to those questions. There are plenty of available works published that provide a tremendous amount of knowledge about fantasy baseball. Reading other fantasy baseball articles and books myself, I’ve found that many of them, while thorough, tend to neglect the fundamentals. They assume that any reader already has a good grasp of the basics. While that often may be the case, I believe it’s critically important not only to know the basics but to completely understand how to use them to your advantage. Having this book as a foundation, you can then better understand some of the more complex topics: sabermetrics, drafting, trading, etc. In this book I will provide insights into not only the basics of fantasy baseball, but will also delve into complex strategies and statistical analysis to help you succeed. In each section, I will first present the topic and then discuss how understanding it in detail will help you as a fantasy baseball team owner. I’m certain that even savvy fantasy baseball players will be able to take away at least a few insights to improve their overall fantasy baseball experience. In one section in particular, Relative Draft Value, I provide original, self-developed formulas and strategies that you simply can’t get anywhere else. I will be focusing primarily on season long leagues; however I have also dedicated a section to daily games which have become extremely popular and deserve discussion. In short, this book will go into almost everything you need to know to start yourself down a path to fantasy baseball success.

Book Description
Fantasy baseball offers a game of strategy, knowledge, and organizational skill played by millions of people. The Owner of a fantasy baseball team emulates the General Manager of a Major League (MLB) team. Fantasy Owners select MLB players for their rosters, add and release players, and make trades with other Owners in their league. In other words, the Owner is the "Boss" of the team. "The Perfect Game: A Guide to Winning Fantasy Baseball" provides a guide to many of the key aspects of playing (and winning ) fantasy baseball. Part I presents the basic issues of organizing a league including the various scoring options, roster makeups, and performance categories that can be used. Part II examines data sources and statistics (such as the Average Draft Position, Estimated Auction Price, and Marginal Value of a Player) that an Owner can use in preparing for their draft or auction. Part III presents time-tested strategies for selecting a team. These include the Colton and Wolf SMART strategy, the Bennett 6S strategy, the Christian BC strategy, the Sweeney Gambit, and the bagging (or punting) of one or two categories. Part IV examines the issues of managing a team during the season including a detailed discussion of the Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB), strategies for making trades, and the ethics of fantasy baseball. As Glenn Colton wrote in the Foreword to this book: "'The Perfect Game: A Guide to Winning Fantasy Baseball' should be on all fantasy sports player's bookshelves (or in this day and age, on their laptops and/or smartphones). Regardless of whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran, this book has something for you."

Book Description
What happens when three financial industry whiz kids and certified baseball nuts take over an ailing major league franchise and implement the same strategies that fueled their success on Wall Street? In the case of the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays, an American League championship happens—the culmination of one of the greatest turnarounds in baseball history. In The Extra 2%, financial journalist and sportswriter Jonah Keri chronicles the remarkable story of one team’s Cinderella journey from divisional doormat to World Series contender. When former Goldman Sachs colleagues Stuart Sternberg and Matthew Silverman assumed control of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2005, it looked as if they were buying the baseball equivalent of a penny stock. But the incoming regime came armed with a master plan: to leverage their skill at trading, valuation, and management to build a model twenty-first-century franchise that could compete with their bigger, stronger, richer rivals—and prevail. Together with “boy genius” general manager Andrew Friedman, the new Rays owners jettisoned the old ways of doing things, substituting their own innovative ideas about employee development, marketing and public relations, and personnel management. They exorcized the “devil” from the team’s nickname, developed metrics that let them take advantage of undervalued aspects of the game, like defense, and hired a forward-thinking field manager as dedicated to unconventional strategy as they were. By quantifying the game’s intangibles—that extra 2% that separates a winning organization from a losing one—they were able to deliver to Tampa Bay something that Billy Beane’s “Moneyball” had never brought to Oakland: an American League pennant. A book about what happens when you apply your business skills to your life’s passion, The Extra 2% is an informative and entertaining case study for any organization that wants to go from worst to first.
