Summary: No Integration with STATS, Inc.
Comment: I agree with the first reviewer wholeheartedly. This is the Sporting News 2003 Baseball Register, not the Sporting News/STATS 2003 Baseball Register. There is an almost undetectable difference between last year's TSN Register and this one -- and this is a huge loss for Major League Baseball Handbook fans.
Every year, I looked forward to the early November arrival of the STATS Major League Handbook. I figured that with the new partnership with the Sporting News and the six week delay in publishing, it was going to be a bigger and better book than ever. How wrong that turned out to be. This is a basic back-of-the-baseball card stats regurgitation with almost no extra "stuff" except for a couple of pages of STATS-like managerial tendencies. Not even the basics such as leaderboards, much less projections for 2003 or in-depth fielding statistics.
A major disappointment, and a major loss for serious baseball fans who like their stats. I'm guessing STATS was losing their shirts on these books -- and that's why they first pulled their books from third-party distribution, and then pulled them altogether. Like the old Zander Hollander annual baseball guides (Handbook of Baseball), the old STATS books will be sorely missed.

Summary: Big Improvements
Comment: The 2004 Register is much inproved and I would again recommend it for anyone looking for career stats of current players. It now includes WHIP, on base pct., slugging pct., OPS and more.
Because it includes all the minor league stats of each player I think it is far more comprehensive than most competitors's books.
I do not know what books some of your other reviewers are talking about because their reviews are way off base.
Rating: 1
Summary: Baseball Card On Steroids
Comment: Not much useful information in the register. There is much more information available elsewhere, especially in the Bill James Handbooks and online sources. This book only has the barest statistical information. I'm surprised that STATS had anything to do with this because the statistic are so basic.
