Just wanted to quickly say thanks for the continued support here in 2008, and thank you for continuing to come back. 2008 saw the site pick up considerable momentum, peaking right around draft time. The site basically started at the end of December, 2006, so its essentially 2 years in the books now. Some numbers for 2008
Total hits: 1,125,603 (up from 514,000 in 2007)
Busiest day: 14,098 (June 5th, draft day)
Busiest month: July; 183,767 (busiest month in 2007 was June, with 78,561 hits)
Highest average hits per day: July; 5,928 hits per day
Total blog hits since inception; 1,640,739
Thank you again for coming, thanks for spreading the word, and I look forward to an even better 2009. Happy New Year.
by all means thank you
Thank you! You have helped me kill time on slow work days.
Impressive, most impressive. I can’t believe there was a time where I didn’t check this site daily. BTW, you can thank Google Search for having you as one of the top sites that shows up anytime you google any Phillies prospect…that’s I found PP.
This is easily the best site on Phillies minorleague baseball on the net.
~tips cap~
great site. keep up the good work.
Kudos James. This site is informative, and for the most part, pretty civil with the discussions. I love coming here, my interest in following the farm clubs has increased tenfold, and I actually sound like I know what I’m talking about when I inform coworkers and friends about Phils minor leaguers.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year. I’ll hoist a Sam Adams in your honor tonight.

I think the message board is a great way to kick off Year 3 BTW. I’m gonna predict an increase in traffic just because of that…and from that WFC the Phils just picked up.
I thought I knew a lot about the minors. but coming on here I realize how much I didn’t know. I appreciate how the people and you have help me to understand the draft. And how prospects are rated and moved up and down.
pp and to my phillies fans family great site. looking forward to a repeat of last year. HAPPY NEW YEAR DRIVE SAFELY.
Thanks for all the work James. Happy New Years.
Awesome site. Thanks very much, James. Best of luck in ’09 and beyond.
Thanks for all you do. People can always tell a labor of love when they see it, which is why I predict the site’s growth will continue in ’09.
A truly terrific site. I am proud to just include my two cents every once in a while, I can only imagine how you must feel towards your creation. I hope the site’s direction matches that of your dreams, and that phuturephillies.com reaches all of your goals in 2009. Happy new year to everyone, be safe.
Congratulations Phuture Phillies on the numbers and Happy New Year!
Go Phils. Go IronPigs.
lets start the new year with a bang
BANG
Wow, I had no idea your site generated that type of traffic…I’m jealous, but congrats!
right a lot more guys voted than comment so they are the “good” silent majority
thanks for hosting a great site. a must view for me every day.
happy new year
Great job on this Awesome site.
By the way, was the busiest day this yr the day of the Blanton trade?
I think that was probably the angriest day…
BTW, crow tastes darn good…especcially after that Game 4 HR.
Though I will say I was cautiously defending the trade at the time.
Thank you James.
Go back and look, I loved the Blanton trade.
Haha I hated it, but that crow was goddamned delicious. I hope average Joe serves me a whole buffet-load next season.
Congrats on the numbers james… we all know you deserve it—— I’m gonna start this whole discussion again and say that you should at least put one ad on the site. I probably won’t click it but you should get some sort of satisfaction from the ridiculous amount of time you put into this site. Satisfaction that doesn’t involve moderating the opinions of the uninformed (often me.)
Great job and thank you for your hard work.
Congratulations on another successful year. Your site is a “must read” every day for those of us obsessed with the future of our team.
Here’s to another year of not getting a real life!
Congrats!
great work, read it every time I open Firefox. keep it up!
The new color scheme is sharp as hell too
