We’ve been floating this idea around for years now but it always seemed so cumbersome and difficult that we never went anywhere with it.

Well, my slate is mostly open this winter and I’m interested in taking a longer look at the mechanics of such a thing.

What I’m envisioning is a community-generated player page for Twins players. We’d start with zero and any of you hankering to start a page for a player could do so. These pages would include a short bio, user-uploaded images, and would automate links to all Twins Daily content that has that player tagged in it (news, videos, user blogs, forum topics, etc). We could throw in user excerpts of interactions they’ve had with the player, the sky is really the limit on what we can put on the page.

In essence, we’d build a “player hub” for each player. If you want to find all of Twins Daily’s content on Byron Buxton (plus his bio information), you’d just hit Byron Buxton’s player page.

But NO STATS. Stats are their own separate issue and we don’t want to replicate/compete with B-Ref; they do a better job of that than we ever could. We’d probably include a B-Ref link to the player’s page should anyone wish to check their stats.

Is this something some of you would be interested in participating in? Is it a fun project? I just want to hear what you think of the idea and open a conversation about it.

Maybe include some kind of system where if one of you users edits a page, you get points for it and can use those points for… stuff. I don’t know, sponsoring your favorite player’s page or a t-shirt or something. I don’t know. I have a pretty good grasp on the technical aspect of this but haven’t quite figured out what interests all of you in participating in the project.
