Since we're so obsessed with stats lately (especially those around possession and passing, particularly when the boys in green don't win), here's some player data you can nerd out on.

Below are some top-line Twitter stats for all Timbers players on the current roster. Stats were pulled April 8, 2015.

Some key takeaways:

Top: Jorge Villafaña (2,033 days)
Bottom: Diego Valeri (24 days)

Tweets to date (a.k.a. who likes to talk?)
Top: Liam Ridgewell (5,337 tweets)
Bottom: Diego Valeri (7 tweets)

Tweets per day (a.k.a. who really likes to talk?)
Top: Liam Ridgewell (5.04 tweets / day)

Top: Schillo Tshuma (552 follows)
Bottom: Diego Valeri (12 follows)

Followers (a.k.a. who’s interested in what I have to say?)

OK, back to the real world.
