Holiday hiatus

Other Stuff

I’ve been under the weather lately, so the content may have been lacking, but it’s really going to be lacking over the next week or so. I have a hectic 6 or 7 days coming up, including traveling back to PA for four days, so I probably won’t update the blog again until next Wednesday or so unless something major happens, then I’ll check in briefly. I have a few Q/A’s planned, plus some more analysis pieces, and some other goodies. If you’re new to the site, there’s a year’s worth of content at your finger tips, and if you’ve been here for a while, just wanted to say thanks again for continuing to come back. I started this blog on a whim, and today I’m happy to announce we’ve reached a milestone….

500,000 hits and 5,455 comments left in a one year time span.

I’ve got a number of ideas for 2008 to make the site even better, and I hope that you guys keep checking in and keeping adding to the discussions. Thanks again for the support, and Happy Holidays.

  2. Was June 7 draft day?

    Those are some impressive stats. Keep up the good work James, and have a Merry Christmas. Maybe Pat Gillick will leave something under your tree.

  7. Found your site through Beerleaguer. Been surprised how often this site is referenced by othe teams on the mlb message boards regarding trades involving young phillies. Great great site. Happy holidays everyone.

  8. I was a semi-regular since before the draft, but I’m an every-day reader now. Your blog is excellent and your passion is pretty much unparalleled. Good work, James. Merry Christmas and I hope you feel better soon.

  10. I’ll be here. I really like this site. There isn’t too much nastiness and people get to say what they think. Most other blogs have the ever present naysayers. If you say the sky is blue. They’ll say it’s teal.

    I’m sorry to hear your under the weather. I had a stomach bug last week. Lost some weight and that was good.

  12. This is a great site. The amount of work you do is incredible. I’ve been a regular since the summer since I saw a sponsorship on baseball-reference.com. In addition to the work, your analysis is so logical and coherent, which is so different from most people’s views on baseball. Thanks again for the site, and the numbers are well deserved.

    How about a what ever happened to section.

    Guys like Chad McConnell, Ryan Brennan, Jorge Padilla and Brad Baisley. Guys who supposed to be something and never became anything.

  20. Thanks James for a very professional site. This is my first read every morning. I really look forward to the player profiles. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

    By the way JJ and RT, at least I could hit some home runs if not much of anything else. Just think how many I would have hit in the Bank!
