Whether you're just starting out like I was in 2017 or have been playing for far longer than I have, I think everyone will learn a ton from this book, I know I certainly have and will continue to do so. ~ Phil Dussault, 2021 NFBC Main Event and Online Auction Champion, 2021 NFBC Online Championship Runner UpWhat lies in these pages is the most thorough tackling of the larger questions of rotisserie baseball that you’ll find anywhere in this world (physical or digital). Jeff and Tanner examine concepts such as cognitive biases and measurement of intrinsic value, they dig into the trick, inexact science of FAAB, and they also introduce new ideas and theories. ~ Clay Link, Rotowire, 2018 TGFBI ChampionAfter reading 'The Process', I realize I will never write a book about fantasy baseball because Jeff Zimmerman and Tanner Bell wrote the book I would have written, only way better. ~ Rob Silver, NFBC Main Event Overall ChampionMost books just tell you how the author won his leagues. What makes Tanner Bell and Jeff Zimmerman's effort so epic is that it not only shows their work in every step of their own methods, it gives the reader a great sense of how they could innovate further, and how they could build their own league-winning process. This is a must-read for any fantasy baseball lover. ~ Eno Sarris, The Athletic'The Process' is one of the smartest, most comprehensive fantasy baseball books to hit the market in years. If you're a valuation fanatic like I am, you'll enjoy and devour every page of this book. 'The Process' is an essential part of any fantasy player's bookshelf. ~ Mike Gianella, Baseball Prospectus, Former Tout Wars and LABR Champion Read more
