So which of those four guys will have a bust season? Last year it was Morales...

I don't want to piss anyone off, but I'm thinking Snider. Sorry, Canucks.

I know Fetali is nasty, but i have feeling he'll have the worse season, mostly because of where he is pitching. However he'll have a winning record, his ERA, WHIP stats won't be dominant.

I never understood how it is the secret weapon for fantasy league success. Most of these guys won't hit the majors this year, and half of those that do will struggle. Guys like Price and Bruce are well known even outside of a prospect handbook, so casual fantasy players will know to grab them.

Anyway, I can't wait to get my copy from Amazon. I ordered it with the Prospectus, so I get the best of both worlds.

It's a sell tactic - they want the book to appeal to passerby in book stores. Anyone buying it online or directly doesn't need to be sold.

i was led to believe that those that ordered the book from them would receive a book that has
31 ranked prospects for each team.

Your scan shows that they are just throwing in an extra booklet. Strange.

i realize time restraints with printing and all, but i thought that it would be one exclusive book.

Let's not forget the 2001 cover. Apparently it was a 1a or 1b cover in Corey Patterson or Josh Hamilton...Patterson won out.

The 2001 "Elite Eight" were Ryan Anderson, Josh Beckett, Corey Patterson, Sean Burroughs, Josh Hamilton, CC Sabathia, Jon Rauch and Ben Sheets.

Feliz is the next Edwin Jackson except his slider isn't even as good. Just another raw live arm. He's got alot of work to do.

well JP i'm actually shocked you weren't one of the very first to get one of these. looks like now all you need to get is the checklist for 2009 bowman chrome and a good fire going and you'll be all set for this winter weather going around the country.

I'm shocked that you're shocked. I'm about the last one in the country to get anything that is mailed to me via the USPS.

My friend Brett, who lives less than 60 miles from me, got his last Sat.

Not unless an envelope containing a $20 Christmas bonus rubbed him the wrong way.
