For fantasy I'd pick Forecaster every time. If you prefer just baseball analysis that isn't too concerned with fantasy I'd go with Prospectus.

Just picked up my copy of Forecaster. It feels like Christmas morning
Strongly recommended for fantasy managers!

just picked it up used on ebay for 20$ (what can I say, Im cheap and wanted to save 5$) first time reader of the forecaster so Im excited. The past couple years I picked up the prospectus but not for fantasy reasons.
This is the first year Im actually getting serious about fantasy baseball so Im just trying to gather in all the knowledge I can.
Cant wait for it to get here in the mail.

Used forecaster for $20 bucks + ship from e-bay? I had my daughter order it for me for Christmas--paid $16.47 with free ship from Amazon. Got here day after Christmas. (she neglected to tell me till week later lol --no big deal to her)
I normally get the forecaster but when I saw Amazon deal I had her order Prospectus to --same price. Still waiting for that of course.

I only know this book exists because each year it gets hyped here but I never look into it. I just bought it through Amazon and am intrigued.
At what point does it become useless? Midseason? Next October? Beyond?
