Below are the top 10 twitter accounts out of all the current MLB players on twitter. The list is based on how often the player tweets, and interacts with fans through twitter replies, RT’s, and twitter contests:

Wether it’s a twitter contest or just plain old twitter replies, Brandon always seems to be interacting with his followers/fans.
2.) David Price– @DAVIDprice14
Does his best to reply to what seems like every tweet that someone sends him. Very active tweeter.

Although he’s still getting used to twitter, R.A. does a great job of answering his fans questions that they send him.
4.) Logan Morrison– @LoMoMarlins
His timeline is full with hilarious tweets, as well as TONS of replies to fans that have tweeted him. Great tweeter. (Just don’t mention the words “preying” and “mantis” in the same tweet.)
5.) Jimmy Rollins– @JimmyRollins11

Thanks. I might eventually get to your idea of Minor League Players on twitter, but I’m SO busy right now, I don’t know when that will be.
