List of New York Yankees first-round draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Muboshgu (talk) 18:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I tried nominating this last month, but had to close it down due to the backlog and other active nominations. Please feel free to resume the conversation now. --Muboshgu (talk) 18:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Anybody watching this? --Muboshgu (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Transcluded. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Stupid me, I forgot to properly list this FLC. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick." The structure of this sentence needs revision. The noun+-ing structure is awkward enough, but this sentence has multiple -ings after the noun.
 * Hyphen for "World Series winning".
 * The lead is outdated in multiple places after the Yankees' 2009 World Series title. It states that Jeter has four titles, instead of the five he now has, and Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain have now joined him and Thurman Munson as first-round picks who won a championship with the Yanks.
 * The part about the Yankees not gaining a compensatory pick for Mark Prior needs a cite somewhere, either in the lead or a note. A simple link to the draft rules should do.
 * What makes http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ a reliable source?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:39, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It's been almost a week since I commented. Is a response forthcoming?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been real busy. I'll try to get to this. --Muboshgu (talk) 04:26, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to do this, especially since I am a Yankees fan, but I'm moving to oppose now. It's been almost two weeks since I originally commented and five days since the nominator last responded here, and the list has seen no changes. We can't leave lists at FLC indefinitely without response to comments, and the outdated parts and shaky source concern me too much to consider supporting this now.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:05, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I agree. Unless someone else can step in and make the changes, please close this down.  I've gotten swamped and it's going to be this way for a decent amount of time. --Muboshgu (talk) 18:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments Didn't even see this baby had made it's way to FLC. Nice!
 * The image captions could use some alteration, in my opinion, particularly the lead image. Something like "Derek Jeter, the Yankees first-round pick in 1992, has won five World Series with the franchise." The rest work, I suppose, but the simple [Name] ([draft year]) is very dull looking.
 * Needs serious updating per 2009 World Series. Jeter needs another WS added to his name, and as I write this I see Giants already mentioned this. :p
 * Agreed that MLB Trade Rumors is a very so-so source. Staxringold talkcontribs 15:36, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Outside of these issues, the rest of the sources look good and the images look good.—NMajdan &bull;talk 16:47, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Is calling it "The Bronx, New York" accurate? I honestly don't know. I would think something like "The Bronx burrough/county of New York City, New York" would be more accurate.
 * The in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph is not needed.
 * I second Gaints2008 issues with the reliable source and Mark Prior fact.
 * Should Schools be sorted with the "University of"? Meaning should, say, University of Texas be sorted as "Texas" instead of "University of Texas"? I may have to go dig around the MoS to find out.
