Alright, Juan, to address your points:
Wizardman, thanks for making the changes. Job well done. However (don't you hate those?), I thnk the personal information should be in a separate section titled "Personal life" or something like that. I'll ask a couple trusted reviewers their opinion on this, they may disagree with me. So, if you don't agree, don't feel pressure to make these changes. But the sections are all titled career, so I believe this change is necessary. I recommend looking over other GAs for sports people to see how it's done, but in my experience (and I've reviewed a few dozen sports articles), there's always a personal section... this is for any bio, really. I do like how you worked it in, though. Your prose is great. Flows extremely well. LARA ♥LOVE 04:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

"He controls all of his pitches well." This statement (while I agree with it) seems more opinion-based than encyclopedic. Is there something in terms of a consensus or sports journalism to make it more verifiable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.176.235 ( talk) 00:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
