I know WP:MLB reached a consensus on this, but I can't remember. Did we agree not to list intermediate trade teams in the infobox of a player if he never appeared for them (like the Angels here)?

Given that he set a pinch hit record and was called one of the best pinch hitters in the league by AP I would mention his time as a pinch hitter after discussing his fielding positions.

"As a player, Stein was listed at 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm), and weighed 170 pounds (77 kg)." Uncited and doesn't appear in the article body as far as I see (so odd for the lead)

"In June, Stein commented on how he liked playing everyday at the same position, which he was doing with the Mariners at third base." Awkward sentence, why not just "In June, Stein commented on how he liked starting everyday at third base for the Mariners"?

"In May, Stein set an American League record after he recorded seven consecutive pinch hits." Reads oddly, maybe "In May, Stein set an American League record by recording seven consecutive pinch hits."?

"After the season, Stein spoke out against a transaction that the Rangers made, which traded Jim Sundberg to the Milwaukee Brewers, calling him a "mainstay of the organization"." Change that to "trading"?

Possibly include Stein's salary data from his B-Ref page? It's limited, but at least I think it'd be worth noting he made $250k in that last injury-broken year.

I'm not in love with the source information for the lead image. I have a hard time believing the newspaper doesn't claim copyright over it's images, but as it's offline I have to
AGF.

Done except for the salary note (going to double check that those figures are correct. They probably are but since that's a new development for B-R I want to make sure) and the minor league referencing. Those seem to fall under the two general references in that section. If you disagree and still think they should be added I'll go ahead and do that.

I would definitely use the Minor League source at least once in that paragraph. The salary data is a random side bit (since data isn't comprehensive that far back) so I leave that to you.
