Seven years ago I was talked into playing fantasy league baseball by a friend. As a life long baseball fan I wasn't sure how I would like what I saw as the mathematical side of it. I was wrong...two weeks into my first season I was hooked for life. I mention this because this book, while it can be enjoyed by the casual fan, is really meant for the fantasy league fanatic. I have just recently completed Fantasyland and am glad I have a few years of fantasy play under my belt. It made the book that much more fun since I recognized nearly all the characters in the book. It explains the very beginnings of rotisserie league ball in a factual and humor filled way. That can be somewhat of a difficult task with this subject. The three main characters are Sam (the author), Nando (the old school research assistant) and Sig (the stat geek). Sam wrangles an invitation to the Mt. Olympus of baseball fantasy leagues...the Tout Wars and hires Nando and Sig to aid him in his quest for baseball immortality. The results are absorbing, bittersweet and hilarious. I found myself in the Nando camp as far as judging prospective players for Sam's roto team. Sig was very persuasive, but as I say, the math side takes the hunch factor away and to me, that is a large part of fantasy baseball's appeal. And, after all, players are people, not just machines. I also liked how the author gives the reader a humanistic look at the other Tout Wars baseball experts as well as several ballplayers. I've read Moneyball (and seen the movie) and I found myself skimming through portions of it. Not so with Fantasyland. I read it cover to cover and once started, I couldn't put it down.Incidentally, iTunes has a podcast (cbs sportsline) now playing that features Nando as one of it's commentators. It's very good and well worth your time if you play fantasy league sports.
The author takes the reader thru his project of attempting to put together the ultimate rotisserie team in a league based on the 2004 season where he is a rookie and most of the other players are the so called experts. He hires two employees to help him statistically evaluate the player pool. He even consults an astrologer. He visits teams and players thruout spring training and the actual season to gain further insight. Of course, such activities and that he has press access as a sports columnist for The Wall Street Journal separate him from most fantasy league participants. To quote the author "The problem with building a Rotisserie strategy around inside information is that it always comes with an expiration date. Minds change,injuries defy prognosis, and performance always trumps opinion." By the way the authors team finished 8 in a 12 team league. To me, this was a fascinating read. Very enjoyable and worthwhile.
Fantasyland provides an excellent review of the history of rotisserie baseball that has developed into an entire industry. This is much more than a retelling of the commonly cited story about a few baseball fans developing a game at the Rotisserie restaurant in New York. The narrative is breezy and a quick read. I would buy the book for this back story alone.The odd way Sam Walker goes about trying to win a well-known fantasy baseball league has some significant holes. Hiring a rocket scientist(literally) to crunch numbers and a self-proclaimed baseball talent evaluator is a clever idea, but its never clear why these two guys are remotely qualified to help. The passages describing other gurus in fantasy baseball, many of whom are well-known to avid roto players, is interesting in pointing out the ranks of experts are filled similarly with people of questionable talent.Together, the book is worthwhile, but it does not necessarily prove there any secret to the fantasy baseball world. Instead, it does a nice job of revealing how a game has become an obsession to so many.
This book has very interesting anecdotes but they're dated so I don't find it especially helpful in terms of fantasy strategy. If you like baseball and play fantasy baseball it's a fun, quick read, but I wouldn't prioritize it on the nightstand or anything.
I am a fantasy baseball freak and I loved this book. It's every fantasy player's dream to be able to actual interact and possibly influence the players on your fantasy team. Sam Walker takes us through this experience from pre-draft all the way through the season.Must read!One more note - I emailed the author after reading the book to tell him how much I liked it (and also to have him tell the Phillie's GM to bench Ryan Howard, as an opposing player had ghim and he was killing my chances!) and Walker wrote back which I thought was pretty cool.
