Title: A few interesting stories, but very poorly written.
Review: Every now and then Schuerholz will offer up some inside info on different trades, almost trades (Barry Bonds nearly traded to Atlanta, for example), and free agent signings that will keep you somewhat interested. Overall, however, the book is just boring, repetitive (by chapter 6 you will hate the phrase "evergreen clause"), poorly worded, and offers little insight on how the business of baseball works that most fans didn't already know.Schuerholz also takes a few pot shots at the "Money Ball" way of thinking, and uses very poor examples to support his arguments. (He uses his signing of Raul Mondesi as a argument in favor of an emphasis on scouting, then later in the chapter acknowledges that Mondesi was a complete bust and had to release him half way through the season)I enjoyed taking a closer look at a baseball front office, but they poor writing and dead-end anecdotes that Schuerholz offers up made this book a bit difficult to read.
