Twins on Twitter - Early August Edition - Twins

Twins Video

It's been about six weeks since the last time we updated the list of Minnesota Twins or minor league related players and personnel. If you're on Twitter, here is a list of nearly 170 people that you should consider following. Most of them are players, but we also have the Twitter accounts of the Twins front office personnel, minor league media and more. Several people have been added to this list.

Most important, I encourage you to let me know if anyone is missing from this list. I'd love for it to be complete, but I'm certain that I will miss some. Leave any that are missed in the Comments.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

I'm showing how many followers each player has as of today (8/4) compared to what they had in mid-June. It's fun to see how promotions increase people's followers.
