Lots of accounts down but a lot more still ahead. We’re getting into the realm of the well-followed, if the point totals are any indication. Let’s see who we have this time!

For all the stability at the Post-Dispatch, the MLB.com beat writer has been a revolving door of late. The last two prior to the current, Anne and Zach, show up here. The Birds on the Bat Show stopped making episodes but they still drop a tweet now and again. Nice to see my fellow Old Man Alex get a little bump this year.

Brian Walton is one of the experts in the field of the Cardinals minor leagues and you should be supporting him if at all possible. Looks like Tito is going to be talking smack to his podcast partner. Our cigar smoking friend slipped a little this year but probably will bounce back, but folks, you’ve got to stop encouraging Rabe. The COD podcast is greater than the sum of its parts, it seems.

We’re on our third MLB.com writer since Jennifer Langosch and she’ll still getting a ton of support–in fact, she was close to overtaking Mr. Denton, the current occupant. It’s been a while since Crash changed his Twitter handle so I guess it was about time.
And that gets us to the Top 25! Two posts tomorrow as we continue the countdown!
