A Crazy, Rumor-Filled Day
I've written something in the neighborhood of 11,000 words today. That's not a typo. Insane, isn't it? In my opinion the Winter Meetings have been awesome so far; a constant flow of hot stove to discuss. Yesterday MLBTR had 490,000 pageviews, our second best day ever (can't top this year's trade deadline). Thanks for reading. We're not even halfway done with the Meetings. I should note that I've written so much today that it all doesn't fit on the page (I think the front page has 25 posts or so). If you want to read more than you see, click on the December archive and you'll get the entire month of posts.
I know we have a lot of new visitors here today. I wanted to re-post this info, the MLBTR basics.
- My name is Tim Dierkes, and you can learn a little bit about me here. If you've got a rumor you haven't seen on the site, feel free to email me here. Sometimes my inbox fills up quickly, so don't be offended if I don't reply. I read 'em all.

thanks for the rumors Tim, you are doing a hell of a job. I literally refresh the page every few minutes every chance I have.

Absolutely love and appreciate the good work, Tim. I used to jump all over the place looking for updates, but now am confident that you're on the job. Keep up the good work.

i cannot stress enough to you how much *I* as a fan have been enjoying your hard work and dedication, and willingness to do all that you are doing.
Seriously, you have had great reads, and even more important...posted the rumor-killers..and the bang-bang work you did on locating and posting that Tigers-Marlins trade. WOW...perfect!

Again, thanks for everything tim. And hey another Idea I had wanted to ask you, over at talking chop.com, they have a diaries link well posters can writeup an idea and get feedback on it. Of course, I can see that working for a site who represents one team, and it may not work for your site that represents all. Just an idea, i think it would be pretty cool to see how everyone thinks.

Tim,
Did you count this post as part of the 11,000? ;-)
I'd be more interested in hearing how many words you've READ today...

Once again great job. I have been refreshing the page every 15 minutes today. with all the traffic I know you have been busy. Might have to get you a full time staff soon :)

Inside joke
Applause is much deserved Tim. This has been the craziest few days in MLBTR history in my opinion.

Tim,
Do you have a job, or are you lucky enough to do this as a full-time job?
Doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.
You run an absolutely fantastic blog. As a Mets fan, this site and Metsblog.com give my a non-stop flow of reports that keeps me from having to do my full-time job.
Thank you!!

He said he has a full time job. I imagine he makes a little off the ads. If not he should be in contact with google.
