It's been a while since I posted my last blog of must follows on
twitter! That's what happens when your computer won't work properly.
Anyway... On to the next must follow athletes on twitter. If you missed
the first 10 they are in my last blog! Follow them too!
11)
Jeremy Guthrie @JGuthrie46 --- Jeremy is a pitcher who recently was
traded to the Colorado Rockies. He is an avid shoe collector and loves
to ride bikes. He's also very giving. Last year for Christmas time he
made some people's wishes come true by sending out presents to fans. And
he tweets, a lot!
12) Blake Hawksworth @BlakeHawk425 --- Blake a Canadian
pitcher who plays for the LA Dodgers. I've been a fan of Blake since his
days with the St. Louis Cardinals. He always has that amazing smile on
his face (even only a few days after he got drilled in the face with a
line drive, he was still smiling)!! His tweets are very encouraging to
me.
13) Jeremy Hazelbaker @J_Hazelbaker --- Jeremy plays
in the outfield for the Boston Red Sox minor leagues. He doesn't tweet
as much as some of my other must follows but he always has something
witty to say when he does tweet. He will also interact with fans.
14) J J Hoover @JJ_Hoover --- J J plays in the minor leagues for
the Atlanta Braves. He does tweet quite a bit and talks to his fan has
much as possible. He also loves to hunt and cheer for the Steelers (Boo!
Lol)
15) Justin Jackson @JaxChillinONE --- Justin (or better known as #JayJax) is a Blue Jays minor league outfielder. He is one of my favorite people that I follow on twitter!
He is always tweeting about baseball and just other random stuff.
#Thormode (ask him what it means) and #TG4L (Twitter Gang 4 Life) are
two very common hash tags you will see him tweet with and he loves to
interact with his fans! He recently did a card/bat give away. During the
season he is going to do a video blog featuring some of his teammates. If
you have a twitter and don't follow him you are missing out on some
awesome tweets!
16) Jiwan James @Jiwan23 --- Jiwan is a Phillies minor leaguer.
He is funny and entertaining. He answers and talks with his followers
and will be goofy with teammates and other players. I haven't followed
him for a long time, but I'm glad that I did.
17) Andre Jernigan @DreDay_9 --- Andre is a student-athlete at

Atlanta Braves minor leagues. Myke is my "adopted brother" and just
plain awesome! He tweets all the time! He says something funny, crazy,

19) Ian Kadish @TheBearJew36 --- Ian is pitcher in the Blue Jays
system and LOVES to tweet. His tweets are crazy, yet really funny!
Besides baseball, he tweets about his 10 year old bro (who seems to
always be saying and doing the craziest things), the fact that he hates
to do laundry (and he never seems to have any clean clothes), and anything else you can think of! He talk to his
fans/followers a lot too!
20) Barrett Kleinknecht @bkleinknecht --- Barrett plays for the
Atlanta Braves minor leagues. He's funny and tweets a bunch. He also

Twitter Follows
I want to do a blog about the best athletes to follow on twitter. I will be doing this in a 4 part blog featuring 10 in each blog. I'm going to do this in alphabetical (by last name) because I couldn't pick a #1 #2 #3 so on. I love following all these guys for different reasons. Most of them are baseball players but there are a few non-baseball athletes.
1) Jeremy Barfield @Baseclogger --- Jeremy is a current minor league outfielder for the Oakland A's organization. He loves his job and is working hard to get his chance to shine in the Bigs. He has some of the funniest tweets on my TL! He also loves to interact with the fans and recently did a give-away of his "Rocket-arm" action figures.

He loves the game of baseball and is from RI (which is just plain awesome!)! His tweets are absolutely hilarious and he cracks me up every time i read his tweets. He's one of the first people I followed and I've been laughing since.

8) Ryan Dent @RDdeucess --- Ryan is a minor league player for the Boston Red Sox. He will interact with fans as well as goof off with his teammates. (You may know him as @LB_D3NT but that account was hacked so this is his new one)
9) Casey Dykes @CaseyDykes --- Casey is an infielder who plays at Western Kentucky University. A lot of Casey's tweets are about life as a college student/athlete. He also tweets Bible verses and encouraging quotes.
10) Richard Giannotti @JustMeGee --- Rich plays for the Maryland Blue Crabs. His tweets are super funny and usually so random. He makes me crack up reading his tweets.

There is a new King of Detroit. Well he will probably be called the Prince of Detroit given his name and all. Prince Fielder has reportedly signed a 9-year, $214 million year contract with the Detroit Tigers. Prince will be a good fill-in, offensively, for a Tigers team that lost Victor Martinez to season-ending knee surgery. I know Prince is worth a big contract, but with this he would only be making a little less then Albert Pujols, who I think is a better all-around player then Fielder. I don't think that Fielder is worth that much, but I could be wrong.
The Tigers do now have two first-basemen in Fielder and Miguel Cabrera. My thoughts would be that Fielder and Cabrera would share the DH and first-base duties.
The main problem with Fielder is his weight. He is a extremely slow base runner. Which is probably why he always tries to hit a homer, so he can trot around instead of actually running. Haha. He is not as mobile in the field as a first-baseman should be, which may affect how much playing time he gets at first. Not that Cabrera is a fast runner either. They're both pretty slow. They are defined as basecloggers according to some people (Jeremy Barfield a.k.a. @Baseclogger).
I'm not sure whether it will be a good fit for Fielder in Detroit or not. We will find out soon! What I do know is that the AL Central, heck the whole AL, just got a lot tougher with Prince and Albert both in the AL now. Also the NL Central is wide-open for anybody. The Cardinals still look to be the favorite to win, not just because they are the World Champs, but because they have such great minor leaguers. I'm not saying that any of the minor leaguers are going to replace one of the greatest players in the game, but they will help the Cardinals without them spending a lot of money. The Brewers still look to be competitive and the Reds can always be surprising. I also won't count out the Cubs this year with some of the moves they have made. Well not until about mid-June.
I hope that Prince will meet up to the high expectations that have been set before him. Also hope that the AL Central is competitive and not just a one team race. So that's what I think of this Fielder deal. Would love to know y'all's thoughts!
Until next time, Shauna Jordan

My first blog
My first blog..... ummmm..... LOL. I decided if I wanted to be a baseball announcer one day it might be helpful if I have some experience writing. So why not write a blog. People may read it. They may not read it. Some may love it. Some may hate it. I really doesn't matter to me. When I write, it will mostly be about sports and a lot about baseball. I eat, sleep, breathe, watch, love, and am always thinking about sports. If I see a number I automatically associate that number to someone's jersey. It's just how my brain works. Lol.
Most people have no clue who I am, but if you have a twitter you can follow me at @SALTY_39. I love to talk sports with anyone. My favorite sport is definitely Baseball, but i also love Football, Basketball, and Hockey. Pro and College of them all. My teams are the Braves, Cardinals, Red Sox, Rangers, Twins, Cowboys, Titans, Grizzlies, Celtics, Penguins, Preds. The Colleges I like are Ole Miss, Memphis, UNC, and U of Texas (a lot of teams I know!). Even if you are a fan of the Yankees, Lakers, Eagles, Steelers, Phillies, Red Wings, or U of TN (my most hated teams) I still welcome you to read and comment!
Other than sports I'm just a normal girl.... no wait there is NOTHING normal about me! Lol. I know girls who like sports, but I've never met one girl who likes sports as much as me! I don't even know many guys who like sports like I do. Dancing and singing (even tho I sound awful) are two things i enjoy doing. I also like to play pick-up games of basketball and hang with my friends. That is, when I'm not watching a game.
I'm going to try and write at least once a week. Maybe more. Hopefully i won't bore whomever reads! Sports. Sports. Sports. Baseball is right around the corner!
Until next time- Shauna Jordan
