Last season I created a list of the who’s-who to follow in the Twittersphere. The article won many awards (none) for being the article of the year, millions (tens…maybe) hailed it as a modern day classic (or just a fairly helpful time saver). On the back of all that success a sequel was only fitting. I framed this mostly as a Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) column at the time, but @Twitter is for more than just DFS players, Twitter is for any fantasy player that is looking for an edge. Heck, if you’re a fan of baseball and have a smartphone, there’s no reason to not follow most of this list below. That goes for DFS players and non DFS players alike. There is no faster news source for lineups, weather, late scratches or other breaking stories out there (like closer changes for RCL leagues for example). I love what Twitter has done for the game, it’s an ideal pairing I think. I almost always have my laptop open with Twitter up while I’m watching games.
The thing with Twitter though, is you have to be following the right people to make it worth your while. Enter the @MattTruss guide to MLB Twitter 2017. I’ve broken this up into different categories, so pick and chose, or follow them all, it’s your choice. For 2017 I’ve gone through and cleared out and deadbeats that are no longer covering the team, covering different teams, retired, etc. I hope this helps, I know it’s been an invaluable tool for me. If nothing else, maybe it’ll save you an hour or so of Googling. If it helps you out, say thanks by throwing a follow and a retweet my way. Also, if there is someone I missed that you enjoy following, please add them in the comments. Sharing is caring after all, and is what makes @Razzball awesome!
Please, blog, may I have some more?
