by Brandon C. on May 28, 2011 11:00 AM EDT in Miscellaneous

For those of you that use twitter, here is a list of Yankees-related people you may want to follow

Players-

CC Sabathia- Usually tweets articles about CC Sabathia, connected to CC's website.

Colin Curtis- Everyone wants to hear what Colin Curtis has to say, right?

Curtis Granderson- Granderson tweets about his charity work, baseball, and other interesting stuff. I recommend you follow him.

David Robertson- Houdini just signed up for twitter, and has tweeted his thoughts about games. Another interesting guy to follow.

Joba Chamberlain- Joba tweets about almost anything related to his life.Do you want to get inside Joba's head?

Mark Teixeira- Teixeira mainly tweets sponsored comments, but will once in a while give interesting comments.

Nick Swisher- As expected Swisher is all over the place on twitter. From retweeting random fans to tweeting about his wife to tweeting about baseball.

Phil Hughes- Hughes most often tweets about baseball and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Good to follow.

Robinson Cano- New to twitter, tough to tell which path on Twitter he will follow.

Russell Martin- Often tweets about the Yankees, recommended follow.

Donnie Collins- Yankees AAA Beat Writer

Fake Joe West- Hilarious.

Yankees PR- Self-Explanatory.

Pinstripe Alley- Follow the entire staff in one spot.

Brandon C.- The most important of all the twitter users!

jscape2000-The manager, the myth, the legend.

Lord Duggan- Insert sarcastic comment here. Insert IGYAR joke about me using the word insert here.

Yankees2, Frankie Camp- The new guys.

Dan Hanzus- The self described NFL minion!

If you have your own twitter account feel free to post it in the comments!

Cano's is real?

Some guys don’t verify and I won’t follow then.

Winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, and give more than anyone else.

All the ones above are definitely real.

CC is really bad at social networking.

Making no sense since 1994...

Imagine how Mo, Jeter, Alex and Posada would fare.

I would love to see Mo on Twitter.

That would be hilarious.

“Good game today, it was a real team effort. One game at a time.”

Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.

I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?

No love for Old Hoss?!

I have him bookmarked on my iPod touch. If you haven’t seen his tweets before, you need to now.

Also Tripping Olney is pretty great too.

Hoss is great, can’t believe I forgot him.

I'd like to see these compiled....

….into a daily/every other day/weekly feature, kind of like the Yankee news roundup. I’ve seen some other SBN sites do this, and it’s cool for those of us that don’t like to tweet.

So you would like a post full of tweets on what the Yanks/our writers are saying? Not sarcasm, I think its an interesting idea.

It would work for a weekly post, but not any more than that I think.

Bloody Elbow does something similar to this idea every week. I guess you could use this as a model.

Here's an example...

From Canal Street Chronicles, the SBN site for the New Orleans Saints. They tack on a tweets section to their round-up of Saints related links.

it's a little cluttered though.

Love this, Brandon ...

And good to round up the Alley peeps.

by danhanzus on May 28, 2011 3:52 PM EDT reply actions

Alright everyone, looks like a weekly post would garner some interest. I’ll start to figure out the format (I’ll look at the links you gave me) and look for them to come soon.

Awesome idea, looking forward to this.
