What Are Others Saying About the Book?

What 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 Champion

After 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 Champion

Most 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

This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive fantasy baseball guide I have ever come across. Jeff and Tanner are two of the smartest minds in the industry and are part of the few I make sure to read everything from. 'The Process' will provide you with long-term value and make you a better fantasy baseball player not just for the upcoming season, but for many seasons to come. ~ Mike Podhorzer, Fangraphs, Projecting X 2.0, Former Tout Wars Champion

'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.
