Very interesting book with great insight into the real competive side of Fantasy Baseball. As someone who loves baseball and loves fantasy baseball I was engaged from page 1 of the book. The only negative to the book was when I got done reading I couldn't join the league and try my skills! ( )

A sportswriter for the Wall Street Journal takes a year off to play Rotisserie Baseball against a league of fantasy experts. From scouting players in December to trying to convince managers and GMs to play his players, Sam gets totally consumed by the game. Hopefully it helps us fantasy nuts to keep our lives in order and remember it is just a game. ( )

A fun, well-written look into the geeky but hypnotic world of fantasy baseball. Sam Walker trtaces the origins of the game, profiles the super geeks who advise the rest of us, and gives insight into playing in the most competitive fantasy baseball league. The one downer, I think, is that Walker emptied his bank account to have a staff of two full timers, an actress/temptress and a psychic. It makes for good reading, but to me, not as interesteing as if he would have went it alone or with advice from buddies. His moments with the players themselves are excellent, and I walked away from this book with a few new favorite big leaguers, for many different reasons.

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who plays fantasy baseball or is just curious as to why those who play it are so fanatical about it. ( )

A really fun book.

I liked the times that the author tried to "coach up" his roto players by speaking to them in person.

Ortiz, Jacque Jones, and Bill Mueller, and Miguel Batista all seem like fun guys. ( )

Hilarious Book. A bit over the top at times but still quite amusing. A look into the a Wall Street Journal Reporter as he tries to win one of the most difficult fantasy baseball leagues around - in his first season as a fantasy baseball manager. Found it much more entertaining than I thought it would be when I received it as a gift. ( )
