It's been several months since we updated fans on which Minnesota Twins, front office, minor leaguers, etc., are on Twitter.
The one question I get most often when posting this is how the Ft. Myers Miracle pitching coach has about 85,000 followers. It's actually quite interesting. He has been coaching at various levels in the Twins system for over a decade. In 2012, he was the pitching coach at Elizabethton and in 2013, he was with the Miracle. However, in his offseasons, he has been a color commentator for the Venezuelan Winter League through most of the previous decade. The last two seasons, he has been the Player Personnel Director for the Bravos de Margarita.
Take a look at which people are on Twitter, and if you're interested, follow them. If I'm missing someone, please let me know!
