2006 Minnesota Twins Roster by Baseball Almanac

2006 Minnesota Twins Roster

The 2006 Minnesota Twins team roster seen on this page includes every player who appeared in a game during the 2006 season. It is a comprehensive team roster and player names are sorted by the fielding position where the most number of games were played during the regular season. Every player's name links to their career statistics.

Below the main roster you will find in the Fast Facts section: a 2006 Minnesota Twins Opening Day starters list, a 2006 Minnesota Twins salary list, a 2006 Minnesota Twins uniform number breakdown and a 2006 Minnesota Twins primary starters list. These team rosters are presented only when and where the data is available.
"Trailing in the American League Central division by as many as 12 1/2 games back in May, the Twins' hopes of making a return to the playoffs this season seemed to already have disappeared. Many had written the club off for dead at the time, and with the team floundering and doing everything in its power to just remain close to the .500 mark, that notion didn't seem like a far reach. But there was something about the chemistry and grit of the Twins that instead turned the 2006 season into what seems to be one of destiny." - Sportswriter Kelly Thesier on MLB.com (10/01/2006)
