Larry Dierker's new book, "My Team"

[Drew Doughty]

Has anyone read it? Looks interesting to me. Saw it at the library yesterday. Also picked up John Schuerholz's book.

 

I heard Schuerholz's book was terrible, which surprised me. Anyways, opinions on either book?

Vance made a thread about it awhile back, and he seemed to enjoy Dierker's book quite a bit.

he was talking about "This Ain't Brain Surgery" I think.

I added "My Team" to that other thread and provided a link, but just because I happened to stumble upon it while browsing the books at Barnes and Noble.

 

Anyways I did read the Schuerholz book. It is overall rather boring and unrevealing. But, that being said there were a couple of interesting things such as his view of Billy Beane and Moneyball. Also, he talks about how Barry Bonds was an Atlanta Brave for a few hours(verbal agreement), the Furcal DUI ordeal, his view on agents and refusal to give NTCs.

I was. I'm not sure I'm interested in Dierker's book. I want to read Schuerholz's book as well. If anyone reads it, I'd appreciate his or her opinion.

Oh one other thing I forgot to mention in my previous post is that Schuerholz makes it a point to mention Jim Hendry when he talks about making trades.

 

He mentioned Hendry, Beane and one other GM (whom I can't remember) as the GMs that he likes to make deals with because he trusts them and believes they are GMs on the up and up.

Yeah because he can get a valuable piece to his bullpen for Walky McWalksalot and a crap 2b prospect.

I'm looking forward to Dusty's book "Judge Me From the Beginning".
