- Nominator(s): Courcelles (talk) 00:04, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've got two open nominations, but each has attracted some support, and I'm a secondary or tertiary nominator on both of them. Go back a ways and there are some fairly good players on the list, even if the more recent names are a little lacking in star power. A gold glove winner, All-Stars, a rookie of the year, and even an Olympic medallist, they've covered all the bases. I hope you enjoy, and don't pick me off for making bad puns!

Comments –
In the caption, Rockies should have an apostrophe immediately following.- Done. Courcelles
Don't think Teams in "All-Star Teams" should be capitalized.- Wasn't sure when I wrote it, agree, odds are you're right. Courcelles
Commas before and after Casey Weathers?- Reordered the clauses in that sentence, and added some commas Courcelles

In this case, I am pretty sure Baseball Reference is wrong, and Jeff Francis was drafted out of British Columbia (UBC) and not Alberta (U of Lethbridge). Its (UBC) what his MLB.com profile lists as well.Canada Hky (talk) 17:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, you're right... Changed in the table, and handled the disagreement with a footnote. Also sent an e-mail to Baseball Reference, so hopefully the note can go away before too long. Courcelles 17:55, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from KV5
"Since the franchise was established as an expansion team in 1992" - comma after"in which the Rockies filled their roster" - should probably be through which"one player at each of catcher, first baseman, and third baseman." - awkward wording, perhaps one player each at catcher, first base, and third base."The Rockies' 2002 selection Jeff Francis is the only selection" - I would put "Jeff Francis" in parentheses (or some other kind of set-off, it's wrong as is), and re-word to avoid the repetition of "selection... selection".As far as I'm aware, general practice is still to redlink young players who are still in baseball (not retired) at the bottom of these lists so that if articles are created for them in the future, they will be properly linked here.
Hope these comments help. — KV5 • Talk • 14:03, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
