One of the players mentioned in this book is Nick Swisher, who now plays for the Yankees. I'm a big Yankees fan so it's interesting to look at Swisher's stats with this book in mind. For example, Swisher hasn't been hitting so well (June/July 2009), but he's still got a high OBP due to all the walks he gets. One thing Michael Lewis does well is relate the baseball chatter around the clubhouse and between the manager and scouts. It really rang true for me; it reminded me (on a much lower level) of the comments made by my college manager and pitching coach.
