Baseball Prospectus : is making all is content freely available until next Wednesday. There's some great stuff in there for the baseball stat-head types, as well as some good trade rumors columns and other more general interest stuff. Most of the content is typically subscription only.

I buy their book every year, and it's fantastic.

However, I don't subscribe to their online content. It's great, and I enjoy the free stuff this week (and the tidbits they normally release each day in the free section), but I still haven't made that leap to paying for online information just yet.

But these guys are the closest I've come to taking that final step.

Warning: if the concepts of Billy Beane, on-base-percentage or "Derek Jeter is a bad fielder", or complicated statistical analysis makes you angry/upset, this is not the website for you.

Is there a football prospectus, or another book/website like this, with that much content??

jojomfd1 -- Baseball Prospectus now puts out a Football Prospectus book, which can be ordered through Amazon (there is a link on the BP front page). I can't vouch for the Football Prospectus book, but the BP book is a fantastic tool for fantasy baseball and just for looking at historical numbers and likely future trends.

As far as websites are concerned, Football Outsiders is a great site with advanced statistical analysis for football. It's a more SABR-type approach to football stats than you typically get from other sources.
