The Hardball Times Annual

One of my favorite annual books - The 2008 Hardball Annual - is now for sale. It is a collection of essays wriiten by The Hardball Times staff and other writers/analysts such as Bill James, John Dewan, Will Leitch and Tom Tango. The articles range from light commentary on the game to cutting edge sabermetric analysis with an emphasis on the latter. Of particular interest to Tiger fans this year is an article written by Bill Ferris profiling Dave Dombrowski. I was one of the reviewers of the article and I recommend it highly. I also recommend the entire book because I enjoyed both the 2006 and 2007 annuals.
