take the part about his interviews out if you want, it's true, but i don't have documentation so you'd be justified in doing so. his friendship with verlander, though, is well documented and not really debatable. is it so shocking to you that teammates might be friends? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.85.147.105 ( talk • contribs) .
The length of the incident in 2005 is way too long in comparison with the rest of the article. Information should either be added, or that section should be shortened.
he was only BORN in georgia. he was raised in florida (according to an article) and basically grew up in the Texas Rangers farm system from age 17 onwards. ....and actually STILL LIVES in texas with his family.
He was born in Savannah, GA, his father was in the military.He was raised in Dover, Florida and went to Plant City HS. His relatives continue to live in Dover, though he now lives in Texas with his wife.
What about his so called New York Curse? Every time hes pitched on or pitched against any new york team hes had terrible numbers. (bases loaded walk in 99 while on the mets ended the season). also his post season record in general is pretty horrific.
this section still needs to be summarised since all the very detailed dates, etc. aren't pertinent after the issue has been settled to the satisfaction of the complainants. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.12.117.7 ( talk) 01:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC).
in regards to all the of pine tar allegations and subsequent reversions, this article ( [1] ) shows MLB's official statement on the matter; ruled as dirt stuck to the rosin/moisture on his hand
Major League Baseball has issued no official press releases or statements ruling the smudge was dirt. There was no investigation, thus, no ruling. Due to the major media coverage, the "Brown Spot Controversy" section should stay.
Ref. #7 actually doesn't support the claim that a similar substance was observed against the yankees. -- 132.162.215.238 00:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't agree with this edit. While the part about him pitching better is pov, I don't believe the rest of it is. Epsoul 04:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
This is all moot now. With all of the info on the ruling of it being simply dirt coming to light, I think it's pointless to mention, since ballplayers getting dirt on their hands is fairly common in baseball. Such trivial things aren't worthy of mention in articles because of influence from massive media exposure.
I changed "retired" to "ceased playing" and added a source that states that Rogers never formally retired. Of course there is no question that he stopped playing, and many sources regard him as retired, but I can't find a source that says that he did what has to be done with Major League Baseball to change one's status from "free agent" to "retired." I am convinced there is no way he will ever pitch again, but it's sort of interesting that apparently he couldn't quite bring himself to formally hang it up.
It is also my opinion, even though it isn't the sort of thing one would put into the article, that he has the squarest, most Dick-Tracey-like jaw in MLB history. For whatever that's worth! Poihths ( talk) 13:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Rogers' 1991 Topps card has "DRFT: Rangers #38-JUNE 1982". This article and one other source have him listed as a 39th round pick. I think the Topps card is in error. Jason Quinn ( talk) 22:40, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

There is a lack of information of 2007 and 2008 with the Tigers, especially the lack of mention of any extension for the final year given the info detailing a two year contract. MMetro ( talk) 05:45, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
