Free Download: Excerpts from Ducksnorts 2009 Baseball Annual

by Geoff Young on Mar 01, 2009

I am pleased (and relieved) to announce that excerpts from the Ducksnorts 2009 Baseball Annual are now available as a free download (PDF, 226k). The download is 24 pages long and includes the following:

  • From “Player Dashboards” — An explanation of what these things are, some league context, and dashboards for Adrian Gonzalez and Jake Peavy
  • From “Padres Farm Report” — An explanation of depth charts, player capsules, and commentary; also a spotlight on center field, with reports on Will Venable, Drew Macias, Cedric Hunter, Brad Chalk, Blake Tekotte, Jaff Decker, and Rymer Liriano
  • From “Hatching a Franchise” — The introductory essay, plus a detailed review of June 1969 (including top performers of the month, a brief list of events from around the world, and the Padres ’69 amateur draft)

That is all for now. I’ll have the entire 254-page book ready for you on Tuesday.

The book has arrived.

    Geoff, I just made my DS 2K9 purchase. I still go back through my 2K7 and 2K8 copies. I’m really looking forward to yet another outstanding Annual.
