This all-in-one stat book provides career statistics for every player who played in the majors in 2006, including minor league statistics for younger players. The Bill James Handbook also provides 2006 player splits, park factors, team stats, component ERA, team efficiency, player projections, injury projetions, and much more more.

NEW for 2007:
The top ten players at each position in the Fielding Bible's +/- system head up the defensive statistics, along with CERA and CS% for catchers. James also revamped his Baserunning Analysis into a plus/minus system that takes into account six baserunning categories: How often they go from first to third, second to home, and first to home (on a 2B), baserunning outs, bases taken, and how often they score per time on base. In a new Manufactured Runs Analysis, James shows which teams use small ball to score runs and which ones play station-to-station baseball. ________________________________________________________________________________
