2009 MLB Draft accounts on Twitter

The Major League Baseball Draft takes place every year in early June. This year, though, things will be a little different. Major League Baseball will televise the first round of the draft for the first time. The decision to televise the first round of the draft on MLB Network is a dramatic shift in coverage for an event which was only available via conference call until a few years ago.

As part of its promotional effort to connect with fans, MLB personalities and several top draft-eligible players have created Twitter accounts to keep fans informed during draft week. Here are some accounts to follow during the draft:
