The other day I posted an entry complimentary of the entertaining Twitter feed of the Dodgers’ newest lefty, Brett Anderson.

The Dodgers’ other new pitcher, Brandon McCarthy, also is no slouch. Like Anderson, McCarthy has a similar twitter profile pic. I’m not sure how much one has to do with the other, but as a fan I love the solidarity.

The two both seem to have a good sense of humor. They both post about random crap that is neither self-serving nor baseball-related. It’s absolutely entertaining and they both add nicely to any Dodger fan’s list of Twitter follows.

While the back end of the Dodgers’ rotation is still in some jeopardy, two free agent pitchers have proven their social media worth. Here’s hoping their performance on the mound matches the entertainment value of their online personas.

If you examine these two works of art from their respective profiles, you can see that McCarthy and Anderson are basically twins in their “Dodgers” gear. Photos from Twitter.com.

The Dodgers’ deal with Brett Anderson was finally announced on New Year’s Eve, almost two weeks after he took his physical. 

In the time since the addition of Anderson was reported initially, I’ve added him to the group of people I follow on twitter. I have not been disappointed.

Anderson’s twitter page can be found here. It boasts an amazing photo of Anderson, with “Dodgers” gear on. If I said it was “Photoshopped,” Adobe would probably sue. There is also a picture of a shark, and a grumpy, frumpy cat that is pretty good. Anderson’s account is the kind of thing that lets you know that this is a guy who, at least off the field, doesn’t take himself too seriously.

He also seems to enjoy other sports and acts conscious of the world around him.

Anderson’s injury issues have been well-documented, but perhaps the Dodgers found themselves a sneaky-good addition. If Anderson can even pitch as well as he’s capable of for most of the season, he’ll be a solid contributor with a tremendous upside.

I didn’t know a ton about Anderson before, but if his twitter feed is any indication, we’re going to have a good time this season following his play on the field as well as his thoughts off it. Here are a few tidbits from New Year’s Day:
