Over the past three years, no tool has become more important for Fantasy Baseball owners than Twitter. They can check lineups well before the game’s start, as the MLB team beat reporters post them, they can get people to rate their drafts and they can ask Fantasy Baseball experts who to start and sit.
UPDATE: I recently wrote a post with a much bigger list — “99 Fantasy Baseball Twitter Accounts You Should Follow,” enjoy!
I mentioned in a previous article How to Get Fantasy Writers to Answer Your Questions, and now I’m turning my attention to the top Twitterererers. So I thought it was important to share with you my 10 favorite Fantasy Baseball Twitter accounts. (I also listed the Top 66 Fantasy Football Twitter Accounts You Should Follow.”
Favorite Fantasy Baseball
Twitter Accounts
@BaseballGuys – Ray Flowers of BaseballGuys.com
Ray uses a good mix of news, advice and solid retweets to keep people informed and happy.
@EricMackFantasy – Eric Mack of SI.com
Emack is a former co-worker of mine. We both held down the fort on Fantasy Baseball at CBSSports.com for most of the 2000s. In an earlier column, where I explained he’ll usually answer anything on Twitter. But be forewarned, “… if you ask me a question, don’t bother arguing with my answer. I won’t care what you have to say.”
@KarabellESPN – Eric Karabell of ESPN.com
EK has been talking Fantasy Baseball on TV longer than anyone else – and he has one of the best blogs in the biz.
@MikeGianella — Mike Gianella of RotoThinkTank
Relative newcomer to the Tout Wars family, tosses out tons of answers to Fantasy Baseball questions each day.
@NandoCBS – Nando Di Fino of CBSSports.com
Nando is one of my closest friends in the industry. We’ve spent many a drunken night in NYC before our Tout Wars drafts. He’s a main character in the best-selling book, FantasyLand, and now he’s one of the hosts of CBSSports.com’s Fantasy Baseball 360 daily videos. If you haven’t checked that out yet, get on it – it’s live every day at 5pm ET.

Nobody answers more Fantasy questions than Cory. Great guy, excellent writer and a proficient Twitterer. He’s also a member of the Tout Wars crazy story guys.

@SultanofStat – Tristan Cockcroft of ESPN.com
Cockcroft was my mentor coming up at CBSSports, which was then CBS.SportsLine.com. Who knows more about baseball: Emack or Tristan? It’s an arm-wrestling match for the ages.
@theRotoFeed – theRotoFeed.com
A great Fantasy Baseball RSS feed that pulls in articles from Rob Neyer to MLB.com to FanGraphs to CBSSports.com.
