Season 2012 fielding ranking previews

Signed onto twitter today briefly just so I could see the ratings, couldn't seem to find them. Guess I just didn't know what I was doing. Long story short, got annoyed deleted twitter account. Will wait until the ratings just come out next week.

On a side note I have the same amount of twitter followers as Jesus did. =0

Also why is it that everything has to be facebook and twitter all the time. I was on facebook for a while quit about 4 years ago out of annoyance. People that I wouldn't even say hi to in person if I saw them adding me as a friend. So not to be rude I would just accept and delete them, they already had 4000 some odd friends anyways. Why do I want to hear how much you enjoyed your turkey sandwich, or that you "like" ice cream.

I'm in the same boat generally speaking (not a huge fan of twitter or facebook or myspace for that matter). We probably need a support group.

I know this is an older crowd, and I don't use twitter myself. But you have to understand, it's a free cheap way to grow your business.

Posting on the forums preach to the converted. If you tweet it, and it gets re-tweeted a bunch of times, it's essentially free advertising. It's more of a hassle for the company to tweet it as well (though not much), but it's better to start it now and get it rolling to hopefully get some good free advertising.

If they were really doing it well though, they would post some of the MLB player who use twitter all the time and hopefully get them to re-tweet it. Get someone with a ton of followers to re-tweet it = instant advertising!

What's Strat's twitter account?

BTW, you can look up past tweets for anyone or any company on twitter - unless they deleted the tweets after they tweeted them.

I am on twitter. I'll look for strat but if anyone can just tell me what their twitter account is that would be great.

thanks for posting all those. Much appreciated.

These tweets are much ado about nothing. They give you two guys per team, and often they're guys you expected to be bad fielders, and they are. Anyone out there think Raul Ibanez was going to be a 2 in LF?

gbrookes,
Thanks a lot for posting the info. Like others, I'm not into twitter.

geekor,
I'm sure you make valid points, but the only thing I ever notice on your posts is your GIF video.
