Seemingly everybody is on Twitter these days. I remember sitting with John Bonnes during the middle of the 2009 Twins season, and he told me that I should be on Twitter. I hesitated, but then I figured, Why Not? Since then, I've gradually followed more and more people. Frankly, it is my news source at this point.

 

If you're not already on Twitter, consider it. If you want, you can follow Twins Daily and each of us individually (John Bonnes,Nick Nelson, Parker Hageman, Seth Stohs & Brock Beauchamp).

 

The Twins have many players and front office personnel that are on Twitter. Twins President Dave St. Peter leads the way, making himself accessible to Twins fans, positive and negative. Dozens upon Dozens of Twins players throughout the entire system also are active on Twitter.

Today, I'll be posting the Twins players and front office personnel that have Twitter accounts. There is a good chance that this list is incomplete, so if I'm missing anybody, please put the name and their twitter link into the comments.

 

And also let me know what you would like to see here. Should we include Twins media? Should we include former Twins? I will certainly add twitter accounts of the Twins minor league affiliates as well.

 

Here is the list of players, followed by their Twitter handle and then the number of followers they have as of 2/24/13. Let's increase their numbers.
