I'll do this review.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:53, 6 December 2013 (UTC) reply

WP:LEAD

• The dates in the first paragraph seem unnecessary.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:41, 6 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• Aren't the teams suppose to be linked in the infobox.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:49, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  Reduced date use. Re the infobox, I believe the teams are linked in the list but not for the debut year and such. Mackensen (talk) 13:14, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  I'll get a second opinion at WT:MLB. After that I think the article is good.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:38, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  The response I got is that it would be redundant to linking the team chronology. Of course, one could link to team seasons, but that does not seem to be what the project wants.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:53, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Colorado Rockies

• "The Rockies had offered him a 4-year, $17 million contract in favor of a 1-year $3.55 million deal." is unclear.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  I left out a clause when I wrote that; updated. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• "In the end the Rockies dealt Pérez to the Kansas City Royals as part of a three-way deal in which the Royals sent Jermaine Dye to the Oakland Athletics who then sent Mario Encarnacion, José Ortiz and Todd Belitz." This is a three way trade that sounds like a two way trade. Please clarify.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  Clarified that the Oakland players went to Colorado. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Chicago Cubs

• "worth between $1 million and $2.5 million." - We should be able to be more clear than this.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:43, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  Found a source explaining it: $1 million base and up to $1.5 million in bonuses. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Detroit Tigers

• I wouldn't pipe 2006 before World Series. We need to know what year we are in at this point.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:43, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• St. Louis Cardinals should be piped to 2006 St. Louis Cardinals season.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:50, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• Milwaukee Brewers should also be piped to the team season article.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:51, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  Piped links added for all three. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Foreign

• Not everyone is going to know what the DR-PR All Star Game is without an explanation.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:43, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  Spelled out; is more context necessary? Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• This section shows he is on two lists that are not explained in the text above. These seem to by accomplishments that should be in the text.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:47, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• I've added references and text for both. Mackensen (talk) 13:26, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• use {{ clear}} so the commons box does not go into the next section.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:53, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• Done. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

References

• No one uses {{Reflist|2}} anymore it should be {{Reflist|33em}}.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:53, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  Well I do, and I'm not no one ;). The discussion at {{ Reflist}} seems inconclusive, but I agree that setting an em scales better on different devices. I've adopted 30em per the documentation there. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• This article seems fairly complete and is within striking distance of WP:GA so I will put it on Hold. I will monitor responses to my concerns and reevaluate within about 7 days.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:55, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• I am going to PASS this article now.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:54, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply
