Talk:Baseball Almanac

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)

2011

$24 this year. The last time they didn't raise the price was the 2000 Almanac. The first year I bought one (1990), it was only $10. --Jeff 00:55, 24 January 2011 (EST)

I still need to buy my 2011 copy - I'm waiting for my main computer at home to get fixed. I've been doing so many Negro League bios the last few weeks because those can be done on an old laptop with lots of books as my sources. - --Mischa 11:21, 24 January 2011 (EST)

Already found a typo in the 2017 Almanac. Omitted Lehigh Valley from the playoffs in the IL Standings table. --Jeff (talk) 20:57, 13 January 2017 (EST) And another. El Paso defeated OKC in the PCL finals, not Nashville. --Jeff (talk) 21:01, 13 January 2017 (EST)

This year's typo is the Dominican Summer League playoffs. Has last year's playoffs listed. --Jeff (talk) 00:25, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
