Saber-Slanted Last Minute Xmas Gifts

by Jeff Zimmerman on Dec 20, 2009 11:56 AM EST

With Christmas being less than a week away, here are a few ideas, besides new GMs for the Mets and the Royals, for gifts for those Saber-slanted people in your life.

1. Hardball Times Annual -- This book is a must have for any baseball fan. Straight up the best book getting published today.

2. Subscription to Paysites (Baseball Prospectus, Bill James Online, ESPN Insider or baseball-reference.com) -- These subscriptions are my favorite to give. Easy to set up and I yearly give ESPN Insider to my brother and he seems just happy with that.

3. Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster - Great for the fantasy nut and make sure you order from the web-site to get the digital copy and the March update.

4. Strat-O-Matic - The classic with several new additions including the Negro League set.

5. MLB game downloads - Give someone their off season fix by letting them download some of the greatest games ever. To bad the Pine Tar Game's price isn't pro-rated to get just the 1 minute of George Brett blowing up.

These are five of my best recommendations, but if anyone one else has any ideas, feel free to share. Happy Holidays.

I agree with the THT Annual. It was really good this year.

Is it a preview issue for 2010?

What is in that book, exactly?

It is a recap of the 2009 MLB season. Also has articles by the THT staff and Bill James, Tango, and Sean Smith among others. It really is a good read.
