It's the return of the draft pick lists!!! :) Built in the model of the many others, now includes sortability from the start. Staxringold talkcontribs 05:54, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Quick comment: "Jay Franklin" redirects to John Franklin Carter, who I don't think is the right guy. Mm40 (talk) 13:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Overall, a good article with just a few issues that I could find.—NMajdan •talk 21:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Why the distinction for the one center fielder? Why not group him into the rest of the outfielders?
 * - should be.
 * - I don't like the word while here. Seems like an incorrect usage of the word although maybe I'm wrong and somebody who knows grammar/syntax better than I can correct me. Maybe replace it with a semicolon or full sentence stop.
 * - Again, doesn't sound right to me. Maybe . Same thing with the sentence after this one. Also, despite starting the two sentences with the same wording, one uses has and the other have.
 * - The numbers here should probably be spelled out like you did earlier in the lead.
 * Fixed, except the last one per WP:NUM (12 > 10). Staxringold talkcontribs 22:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This isn't enough of an issue to prevent my support, but I want to push back so I get this right in my future articles. I'm not familiar with your link, however I am familiar with WP:MOSNUM and while it does say consistency is the most important thing, it does say you can spell out numbers that are one word (like eighteen or twelve). While you're consistent with this instance it is inconsistent when the other set of numbers earlier in the lead is considered. But maybe that is going beyond the scope of the guideline. Also, still curious why the center fielder is listed separately from the other outfielders.—NMajdan •talk 13:40, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * As for numbers, I've always understood the style to be that numbers > 10 should be done with numbers and not spelled out and then all numbers in a sentence should be of the same format. As for the CF it's because the B-Ref page notes his specific outfield position (they almost always just say OF), and I didn't think we should throw that information away.

 * Support - I'd still prefer them to be spelled out, but this isn't a big enough issue to prevent my support.—NMajdan •talk 13:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Support my comments admirably dealt with. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
