More and more athletes are making their way to Twitter these days. It's great for fans, but depending on the player, it can be a potential headache for a team's public relations department.
Twitter is a fun and easy way to interact with players, and vice versa. That is if the players actually tweet.
Some players get a little out of hand with the tweeting, but that's okay. That's the point of following your favorite athletes on Twitter. It allows you to see what these guys are like off the field, and occasionally what their thoughts are about what's happening on the field.
On the other hand, some hardly tweet at all. For those who do the latter, I sometimes wonder if the team is making them join just as a way for them to say that they are connecting with the fans.
Mets players have been coming out of the woodwork on Twitter the past couple of days. A few of the minor leaguers have been on for a while, but the major leaguers are starting to come around. Here's a list of Mets players (Major AND Minor League):
