Ryan Westmoreland

 * ... that Ryan Westmoreland, considered one of the best prospects in baseball, has had brain surgery twice to correct a cavernous malformation?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Loring Commerce Centre
 * Comment: May need to be reworded in some ways. "Best prospect" may be too jargony for a non-baseball (or sports) fan. Plus, I'm no expert on the medical condition.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Looks good to me. I don't think "best prospect" is too jargony; the word is a common term and its use should be readily understood (it's also validly supported by a ref in the article so as not to bring up POV concerns either). Article and hook look good; hook is an amalgam of cited facts that are readily apparent and easy to see in the article. Good to go. GRAPPLE   X  23:38, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * May I suggest "highest rated"? Whether anyone is good/best can be quite subjective & somewhat POV-ish. --PFHLai (talk) 15:04, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I had felt that the idea of being a "good prospect" didn't really translate to POV calling someone "good"; though perhaps something suggested he was a "sought-after prospect" might work. GRAPPLE   X  17:51, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think "highest rated" might not work, because he wasn't #1. Maybe we can say "top 100 prospect" or something of the like, since Baseball America, one of the most highly regarded baseball publications, rated him #21. My thought on "best prospect" wast that even though it's subjective, it's not our OR, it was this publication that made their own determination. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:24, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
