Introducing active and 40-man rosters!


Twins Video

New to the site, we've added both the active roster and the 40-man roster pages!

These pages will update nightly so they'll always be up-to-date with the current state of the big league club, adding yet another long-term feature I've wanted to see on our baseball sites basically forever. There isn't a lot to say about these pages other than they feature the standard set of player info: name, position, handedness, DoB, etc.

To find these pages, use the hamburger menu at the top right of every page (the three horizontal lines), click "Twins Resources", and then you'll be presented the options for both the roster pages and the team schedule for the season.

As always, if you have suggestions for new features you'd like to see added or improvements to current features, please comment below!

Here are a few things I've always wanted on the Twins official roster pages:

- Shading the player rows to reflect their status -- primarily to recognize the 60-day IL guys who don't count against the 40-man limit, but if a second additional shade wasn't too intrusive, you could do one for the non-active roster guys too (minors or 10-day IL).

- Total counts above each positional group would be nice. For example, if the heading said something like "Pitchers (23 + 3)" or "Pitchers (23 / 26)" to indicate that there are 23 pitchers counting against the number 40 at this time, and an additional 3 beyond that. Same for catchers, infielders, and outfielders.

It would be cool if the player text (in red) linked to article mentions and prospect profiles (and maybe b-ref page)

This is a long-term goal across the site but the kind of thing that will probably take an entire offseason of planning to implement.

At some point, I want the system to automatically link to a player page if someone types their full name.
