Former Angels' Farmhand Pens Tell-All Rookie League Book

[Mass Haas]

Not Brewer-related directly save for brief Prince Fielder and Craig Breslow mentions, but with Joe Torre's book getting all the attention these days, it's interesting to note what comes out when a former Pioneer League player reviews his journal and finds a book deal.

 

Not that we're suggesting any Brewer farmhand get any ideas...

Good note -- the New York Times discusses your book.

 

Bad note -- every little detail is picked apart and questioned for accuracy.

SI printed an excerpt from this book a couple of weeks ago. It was really interesting (e.g. talked about Turnbow there on a rehab assignment) but after reading that NY Times piece it seems most has to be taken with a grain of salt. Why would they not check some of those facts prior to publishing, and why would he continue to "stand behind everything in the book" when it is clear there are quite a few inaccuracies?
