Been a while but I'm back again. :) One small question on this list I left at the talk page, whether Booty and/or Kotsay won rings in 97. Both briefly appeared during that season, but neither appeared in the postseason. The one thing going for Booty is from his gamelogs he was pretty clearly a September call-up, and I think everyone on the postseason roster gets a ring (and such a call-up would probably get a shot at the roster).

Comment—four dab links (Charles Johnson, Eastlake High School, Westlake High School, Wheeler High School); no dead external links. Ucucha 06:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, sorry I let this idle so long. Fixed! Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:52, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, found nothing wrong with the list. Only thing I can think of is adding the year of establishment in the first paragraph. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:18, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought about it, but they drafted in 92 despite starting play in 93 so I thought it'd be confusing. Staxringold _talk^contribs 18:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think most of the rest of these compare how many draft picks were taken from high schools versus colleges.

I've written about 8 of them and have never done that. Staxringold _talk^contribs 21:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – ~~"though have never drafted a second baseman." I think this would be a touch better with one of two variations: either change "though" to "but" or make it "though they have never...".~~ That's all I can find. As always, it's a struggle to find a complaint with the lists in this series. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Seven of the players came from high schools or universities in the state of California followed by Florida, Texas, and Louisiana with each producing three players" would prefer "... California, while three players came from Florida..." (or something to avoid the "each producing three players" clause.

2001 row - would expect a "no pick" to sort (by Pick) last, not first.

Don't think (Location) should have a capital L.

Ref 2 has a publication date you could use.
