If the Phillies aren't going to have a good season, they may as well have some good articles. I'll review this one over the next couple days. --Coemgenus (talk) 12:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments

 * Lede
 * Should probably link PEDs.
 * "potentially a candidate" could probably just be "potentially" or "a candidate", not both.


 * Early life
 * A pet peeve: "before" is almost always better than "prior to". If you disagree, that's fine, I certainly won't hold this up over such a minor point, but I think it improves the writing.


 * Minor league career
 * "Galvis participated in the Florida Instructional League in 2006 before he began his professional career in 2007..." Two issues here. Is the Florida Instructional League not professional? Also: the sentence is long, would be better as two sentences.
 * "The subsequent May..." sounds strange. Maybe "The following May..." Or ""That May..."
 * "Subsequently, Galvis was promoted to the Triple-A...." It might be better just to say when he was promoted. Like "In June [or whenever it was], Galvis was promoted...."


 * Major league career
 * "...eventually diagnosed as a Pars fracture in his back." To avoid saying "diagnosed" twice in the same sentence, I'd change this to "discovered to be" or something similar.


 * Player profile
 * "...Phillies' writer Michael Baumann,..." You already introduce Baumann in the previous paragraph.


 * Personal life
 * "...ostensibly susceptible..." "Ostensibly" stands out here, probably because you used it already in an earlier paragraph. Maybe "thought to be" is a good substitute?


 * Thanks for the speedy review. All were great suggestions.  Go  Phightins  !  13:50, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow, this was a quick one. I can't see anything else that needs fixing. Nice work. Let's go Phils! --Coemgenus (talk) 14:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
