Talk:Baseball Almanac

From BR Bullpen

Finally got around to ordering my 2008 Almanac. Looks much better than the 2007 edition in terms of errors and international statistics, but there's one glaring error in the draft section. - --Mischa 15:56, 12 February 2008 (EST)

There are more sections in the International baseball, but the section on Mexico was pretty sparse. Didn't have the new Israel league either. --Jeff 21:53, 12 February 2008 (EST)

Considering that the Israeli league is probably lower-caliber than Germany, France and other European leagues, I see no reason that they should have included it. I'm glad they had leaders for the winter leagues again. - --Mischa 09:03, 13 February 2008 (EST)

BTW, what's the error in the draft section? --Jeff 09:58, 14 February 2008 (EST)

They list the supposed top 100 draft picks of 2008 - then show the top 100 picks of 2007, complete with draft status as of the end of 2007 (Max Scherzer is listed as unsigned, for instance). The pictures at the top of the page, oddly, are of the 2008 picks like Matt Wieters. - --Mischa 12:11, 14 February 2008 (EST)
