With social media it’s certainly a new world where fans can easily track organization’s prospects from their reaction to being drafted all the way to their reaction to getting the call up to the big leagues.

It’s not just Bauer or Bradley that D-backs fans can keep tabs of via Twitter. Fans can keep up with pitching prospects Tyler Skaggs, Jarrod Parker and Barry Enright journeys through the minors as well. Even the team president Derrick Hall recently joined the ranks of Twitter.
