Garko was technically not last in fielding percentage. For guys with over 100 games at first base, he tied with Carlos Pena at .993 for last, but Eric Henske, Nick Swisher, and Matt Stairs, each with over 40 games at first, had a lower percentage. And while a biography isn't a love letter to a player, there is also no reason to include his fielding percentage unless it was exceptionally good or bad. .993 in his first year in the majors at that position and only second full year at it overall isn't that bad. Now if his defense becomes an issue in his career, then I would see a reason for noting it. LightningMan 14:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Most of the article is fine, well-referenced and seems to be very thorough. But coming back to the point I made for the "college" section, most other sections follow a similar format. It gives the feeling of "proseline" (see Wikipedia:Proseline) rather than engaging text that has context and follows on well. I'd either suggest giving it a good read through yourself to reword or maybe ask writers with a knowledge of similar articles. It's not a major task, so I'll keep this on hold for the time being. Brad78 ( talk) 23:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC) Looks like the writer made all the fixes noted above. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:38, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't be too difficult to sort. The text has certainly been improved so far. Brad78 ( talk) 14:42, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I am nominating this article for demotion, as it is not currently at the 2013 standard of GAs. The lead is very short for the article size, and it neglects everything after 2006. There are references that are not properly formatted, deadlinks, and the prose needs updated to reflect 2013. The "personal life" section is very, very short, and I can understand that if the player is trivially covered, but someone like Garko should have more than two sentences. There are further violations of proper prose I can go into if anyone is interested in fixing the article. As of now, I it fails WP:WIAGA 1b and 3a, at minimum.

I'll be confident the article is a GA when these are responded to (assuming you leave a response here regarding your edits). Albacore ( talk) 00:31, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
