| B-ref seems to include as active players who are active in any level of baseball, including the minors. In fact, some surprising names you haven't heard in a decade will come up as active - Gookie Dawkins, Mac Suzuki, Nick Bierbrodt, Damian Moss, to name a few - because they're still playing somewhere - many of them in the Mexican League which bbref counts as AAA. Remember the Rangers old SS Benji Gil? He's still "active" - been alive and well playing in Mexico all these years. In fact, a guy named Isidro Marquez who played a few games for the White Sox in 1995 is now 45 years old, listed as active, and pitching for Minatitlan! |
