I'm happy to begin reviewing this in the next few days. EricEnfermero (Talk) 12:49, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
After an initial readthrough, this looks good and I think it will be a straightforward review. The article seems robustly sourced and there are no apparent copyvios.
Early life
edit- Would it be better to mention his parents' nationality here rather than in Personal Life? No big deal, but the first para of this section is a little thin anyway.
- We have three sentences in a row with "___________'s baseball team". I would try to phrase one of those differently.
Professional career
edit- Martinez was the 1985 Carolina League batting leader (by a landslide). He had a pretty rapid rise from Class A to MLB, so that might help to put it in context.
- There are a few seasons that aren't really covered in the body. I would try to give at least some stats for each season. He had a pretty good '87 season, hitting .292. His average did fall in 1988, but I would clarify that it was only to .255. 1993 and 1994 particularly stick out to me. He did get injured and get released, but I would mention stats because he played >90 games in each of those seasons.
- Fifth paragraph: "but saw an increase in playing time when he was replaced by Terry Bevington" - change to "when Lamont was replaced..."
- "In addition to signing in Florida, he was enticed by the Rays' additions" - does this mean he was attracted to playing in the state of Florida?
- The next sentence: "first hit" - change to "the first hit".
- "First and only time" - change to "only time"
Coaching career
edit- Change his Rays coaching responsibilities to past tense.
We should be able to pass this once we address this feedback. Thanks for your work on this. It's always great to see a GA nom for a player who has had a long career in baseball but who isn't thought of as a perennial All-Star or a Hall of Famer. EricEnfermero (Talk) 05:15, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
I nearly forgot to come back to this, but I am passing it. I am going to add a couple of season stat lines, but the article is not really missing any major aspects and the nominator did a great job of addressing the feedback.
