Nick Nelson Site Manager Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 As Thanksgiving arrives and we reflect on all of the many things that we are thankful for, our team at Twins Daily has no shortage of gratitude.First and foremost, we're thankful for our readers and commenters here on the site. You all have made this an amazing place to come and discuss our favorite team every day. So far this year, more than half a million unique visitors have stopped by Twins Daily, blowing away our total for the entirety of 2014. We are on track to approach 10 million page views. As long as you folks keep coming, we'll keeping working our hardest to provide the best independent baseball coverage in town. On that note, we're also thankful to everyone who has bought a copy of our Offseason Handbook. It's a fun (though exhausting) product to put together, and the reception in terms of sales and feedback made those efforts feel worthwhile. If you haven't picked up a copy yet, it makes a great read for the long holiday weekend as the Winter Meetings approach. We're thankful for our moderators, who maintain sanity and civility in our forums. That can be a tremendous challenge at times, but these individuals work tirelessly to ensure that the TD message boards remain a welcoming environment where fans of all stripes can feel comfortable expressing their viewpoints and exchanging ideas. We're thankful for every last blog contribution that is submitted to the site. I've read a lot of really great stuff here this year that didn't come from any of the core writers and I've discovered a number of new voices that I thoroughly enjoy. That was always a big part of the vision when we first launched three years ago. We're thankful this Twins team that we cover so obsessively has returned to relevance with a winning season and a clear upward trajectory. With a big wave of young talent entering the fold, and a couple of major moves already in the books here in this young offseason, there's plenty of reason for optimism that even better things are on the horizon. We're extremely excited for everything that lies ahead this winter and into next season. It's a great time to be a Twins fan and we're grateful to be able to share the ride with all of you. Have an awesome holiday! Click here to view the article nicksaviking, Squirrel, PseudoSABR and 4 others 7
gunnarthor Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Gosh, I'm blushing. All those times I was banned really meant something now ....

formerly33 Verified Member Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 You had me until "We're thankful for every last blog contribution that is submitted to the site." I've seen hundreds of blog posts that have been deleted (spam). But that translates into a thank you to the mods! And thank YOU, Nick!...and everyone else. Best site ever.

DocBauer Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 At the risk of sounding all mushy and stuff........("There's no crying in baseball. There's no crying in baseball!")......a hearty and heart-felt "Thank YOU" from myself, and all of us, for bringing this site to us and the entire Twins community. It is absolutely my favorite website on the internet, and the very first site that I check each day. (not to mention throughout the day. LOL) Especially during minor league season! As a secondary note, a big "Thank You" to my fellow posters for all of the additions, submissions, agreements and debates. And I have to say, it seems there have been a lot of new additions recently that have brought some great, fresh voices. Thank you all for stopping by...and make sure you stick around for a while. nicksaviking, glunn, Squirrel and 1 other 4

Badsmerf Verified Member Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 You're welcome twins daily. Feels good to receive affirmation. I'll continue to attempt to hijack threads, ramble aimlessly about being mad, cut down opinions like the amazon, and inject wit. PseudoSABR, diehardtwinsfan, Squirrel and 2 others 5
sploorp Provisional Member Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 The real thanks goes everybody at Twins Daily for consistently putting up interesting and thought provoking sports writing day after day. It's not easy and I really do appreciate it. I don't post much, but that's because I'm usually sneaking on at work while the boss is out of the room. I read just about everything and will often times double back to older articles to see if there are any new posts in the comments sections. If they ever put a security camera in the room where it can get a clear shot of my screen, I'm toast. Thanks again everybody! glunn, nicksaviking, Squirrel and 2 others 5
