I had never seen this noteworthy book until last week when I ran across a copy on the 'free' book truck at the branch library. As I took it to the shelf of the old soldiers' home I read Chapter 9 The Trading Deck. It includes the Five 'Simple Rules' for success in this business, one being "knowing what every player is worth to you" in dollars.
The author was moved to invest his time in writing this book because he observed "some baseball executives seems to be much better at getting wins out of dollars" spent.
This edition has an afterword, i.e. how the 2003 edition was misconstrued, that makes it better than the first for readers, in my opinion.
