State of the Prospectus, July 2003

by Gary Huckabay

As we hit the unofficial halfway point of the season, and a large number of BP Staff hit Denver this weekend, I wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks to all of you who come to visit Baseball Prospectus on a regular basis, and have supported us through your purchase of the Baseball Prospectus Annual, and your subscriptions to Baseball Prospectus Premium. We had very high goals for this year, and thanks to you, we've not only met our goals, we've dramatically exceeded any reasonable or unreasonable expectations we may have had. Thank you very much.

We've added a number of new team members who we hope you'll enjoy reading, and over the next few weeks and months, we'll be rolling out a number of new features and functionality that we hope you'll enjoy, as well as taking steps to deal with the technical and operational challenges that inevitably come from rapid growth. We know that you have high expectations when you come to Baseball Prospectus, and we're working very hard to earn your repeat patronage.

There are a lot of people behind the scenes at BP that don't receive the attention they deserve, and so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them for their contributions, either at BP Online, BP Annual, BP Radio, BP Professional Services, or tireless support on a number of fronts.

Thanks to:
