1) I bark loudly when this book arrives each winter - When the BP arrives I bark with glee- and my own dog drops his tennis ball to stare at it in wonder.
The much beloved BP, as always, is informative, creative and contains some of the best baseball writing you are likely to read all year. The chapters on the Blue Jays (weird but true), Braves (sad but clear) and Giants (borders on art) are great examples of the type of insight and humor that makes you go ahead and read about the teams you don't even like. Say, the Red Sox. They are wrong on Panda, he will decline starting in May. Don't ask me how I know, I just know.
Bottom line: The superb writing and the exhaustive but wonderful stats make this the best bargain in baseball. If I were starving, I would eat this book last. (I would eat Eat, Pray, Love first, btw.)
Suggestions for 2016: A BIGGER FONT FOR THE STATS AND BIOS-- I DON'T CARE IF THIS MAKES IT MORE EXPENSIVE
A handy pull out chart in the back with definitions for WAR/FIP/ETC sure would be keen.
And no, you cannot borrow my copy.

2) Always worth reading. - I've got the past 14 editions on my shelf, and have been a subscriber of the website for at least a decade.
Is Baseball Prospectus what it once was? Of course not. It's always been a collective of smart analysts and writers (some of whom are also funny), and yearly turnover is merely evidence of what a fertile launching ground it has been. Pining for the days of Nate Silver and Gary Huckabay and Christina Kahrl and Joe Sheehan is a lot like saying that your wife doesn't cook like your mom did - it won't get you anything but heartbreak.
The fact remains that BP is an important platform - good work continues to be done there, by writers who take the opportunity seriously, and the value in this annual far outstrips what you pay for it. (The same goes for the website subscription). There will be bits in here that blow your mind, and bits that fail to engage you whatsoever. Turn the page on those, and enjoy the rest. At the end of the season, you'll be glad you had it next to whatever seat you sit in when you watch/listen to/stream/download the games.
