Once upon a time, the first sight of a baseball preview was the first sign of spring for the hopeful, winter-weary baseball fan dreaming of summertime victories for his favorite team. The top pick of the bunch is Bill Mazeroski's Baseball , whose strong suit is information, information, information, which never hurts. Bill Mazeroski's Baseball Contains by far the most information. Each team is given three pages, broken down by position, but also by offense and defense, which the other magazines don't do. Then each position is given a point rating, which is a trademark of this magazine.
Good space is given to all the other areas, as well, including fantasy and prospects.
This is the closest thing to being a complete package. Maz's Gold List gives 15 top prospects then five who are near being ready. Not only that, but top prospects are listed in the team profiles under the appropriate positions. The only part of the magazine that doesn't stand out. A special fantasy section gives recommended player values and games played by position.
