I've listed this article for peer review because I eventually want to get it promoted to Featured List status. This could be the first FL for an all-time baseball team roster. That being said, there is no template to follow for such a list—this could set the standard. I am particularly looking for ideas to make the lead the suggested 3 to 4 paragraphs. It would be nothing but subjective to list "top" players, and I don't want to go too deep into discussing award winners, all-stars, etc., as there is a separate list for that. Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, NatureBoyMD ( talk) 19:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Suggestions from KV5
  • One option for expanding the lead is to talk more about franchise history (consider paraphrasing material from other Wikipedia articles on the Sounds) and superlatives. Discussing award winners or franchise leaders is certainly valid, because it's noted in the table.
  • Due to the seemingly disproportionate number of red links at some points, I would suggest removing red links for players who won't meet the requirements for WP:N.
  • Since the list is so long, I recommend indexing it by splitting it into 3-5 approximately equal sections using the last name alphabetically. Yes, I know that the table is currently complete and sortable, but I don't believe that is paramount to having it easily navigable.
  • At least one image is necessary for FL. I know that there are some players on this list that have images.

Others may have additional comments, but this is a start. KV5Squawk boxFight on! 22:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC) reply
