The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2016!
Ladies and gentlemen, The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2016 is now ready and waiting to be devoured. It is the 12th edition of the book.
We’ve got a great book this year, including the longest analysis section in the four years I’ve been working on the book — nearly 150 pages! It is available now for purchase direct from both Amazon, and our independent publishing platform, Createspace. It will soon be available for sale on the Kindle as well.
You can read a full breakdown of the table of contents in my post that went up moments ago at THT Live.
This book is a labor of love for us every year. The book is full of posts from our great team at The Hardball Times and here at FanGraphs — Dave Cameron, Jeff Sullivan, Eno Sarris, Carson Cistulli, August Fagerstrom, Jeff Zimmerman, Neil Weinberg, Owen Watson, Chris Mitchell and Jonah Pemstein, among others — plus special guests like Erik Malinowski, Mitchel Lichtman and Phil Birnbaum.
We hope you enjoy it!!!

I know what I’m asking my parents for Christmas now! The last 2 editions were prime stuff!!!
Yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeaaahhhhhhh!!!
Too bad no kindle version. Have 28 hrs of travel ahead of me today and would have had time to read it. Will have to wait for the hard copy then.
Which site let’s you guys keep more profits (if you are willing to disclose the answer)? I know you guys don’t just do it for the money, but Amazon sometimes can charge authors a steep price.
We make more from Createspace, but in my experience Amazon ships much quicker, so please don’t feel obligated to purchase from Createspace.
I assume I’ll get lots of respect in THT2016?!?!
To be clear, this is AJ Pollock IV, not AJ Pollock III.
Serious question…is THT a recap of the past years articles on THT, is it a recap of the 2015 MLB season, what? I’m very interested but don’t want to put money down for a book of old THT articles.
Disregard, just saw the other article and the table of contents…off to order!!
Hooray!!
