Re: Bill James Handbook 2011 - Votto on cover

With Baseball-Reference and some many others like it (although really, nothing compares), I see no reason to buy a book. Except the Votto cover, of course.

For those that haven't see it:



It also looks like Joey will be on the cover of the 2011 Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster:

Re: Bill James Handbook 2011 - Votto on cover

I can't remember the last time The Reds had a player just explode into stardom like Joey has. How awesome.

Please, oh please let The Reds be able to keep him.

Anyone else notice and/or find it funny that both cover photos are in the AWAY uni.
