2018 Cardinals Draft – Deep into the Numbers
At least 36 of the 41 draftees have a presence on Twitter. Some tweet a lot, some not much at all. A few are protected accounts. Some have colorful handles and others are right to the point. For those into sleuthing, check out how many of them already are identifying themselves as Cardinals in their profiles!
As I followed each, I logged their handles in my master Cardinals Twitter spreadsheet and decided to share this information with our readers, as well.
Just PLEASE do not be that person who tags a player while airing a less than positive point of view. For example, some of these young men may have very good reasons to pass up becoming a professional ball player at this time – and that is their right.
Let’s keep it civil out there and enjoy following these young men pursuing their dreams – at a respectful distance!
Just right click on each handle below, open a separate window and follow away!
