How Wall Street Strategies Took a Major League Baseball Team from Worst to First

The Extra 2%

Jowanza Joseph

Everything you've ever wanted to know about good strategy in Baseball management can be found in this book.  It's a fun read mostly for those who care about baseball and advanced statistics.  I wouldn't recommend it to those who are unfamiliar.

Dana Kraft

Unless you really like the Rays, I can save you time by revealing the Wall Street strategies that took the Rays from worst to first.
- Buy low, sell high
- Always be looking for an edge
- Be willing to buck conventional wisdom

A bit of a yawner in my opinion.

Michael Hessling

I really like what Tampa Bay is doing for their baseball team, and Keri does a good job hitting all the main points. And it's a book about baseball, that's three stars right there.

But man, he forgot to hire an editor. Really repetitive in spots.
