However, I have begun to feel the same way as you. Each year it has less worth to me, especially with the proliferation of sites such as Fan Graphs that has almost every stat that the Forecaster has, with the exception of the PX/SX and xERA metrics. I have still continued to buy it every year as the only thing I spend my money on for fantasy baseball draft prep, but it's unfortunately rapidly losing its value. However, for those who have never purchased it and have typically bought the $7-$10 magazines each year instead, then it's a must.
