Support. Albacore (talk) 00:15, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wood done. Williamses will require a more thorough search. I will undertake this sometime in the next 72 hours (can't promise anything, very busy in the next day or two). — KV5 • Talk • 11:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Or now. Easier than I thought. Done. — KV5 • Talk • 12:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

~~"He amassed an 38–53 pitching record...". "an" → "a".~~
~~"while batting .260 with seven home runs as an third baseman." Same as above.~~ Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:18, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My lands, what is wrong with me? I blame the mergers... Done. — KV5 • Talk • 13:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support – Excellent, just like the rest of the lists in this series. FLC has been fortunate to have them come through here, as they really do set a great example of what can be done with lists. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:04, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Harrias ^talk

Epic effort, and good to see it all coming to a successful looking conclusion here! Couple of minor comments:

What is a "position player"? This should be clarified with a note or a link.
"One player, Bucky Walters, has made 30% or more of his Phillies appearances as a pitcher and a position player." – Did he as both a pitcher and a position player in 30% of his games? Ie, only pitched for part of the game, and uhmmm.. positioned for the rest? (My ignorance shines brightly with this question I think!) Harrias ^talk 14:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Last sentence of first paragraph explains the difference between position players (the "offensive players") and pitchers. As to Walters, he played as a pitcher in >30% of his appearances, and at another, non-pitching position (primarily third base in this case) at >30% of his appearances. — KV5 • Talk • 14:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Right; it's not clear from the article that "position player" means the same as "offensive player", so I still think some clarification is needed. For the Walters sentence, I had assumed the other version, so again I think a clarification is needed, though I'll admit, I'm at something of a loss as to how it would be worded.

    - I'll take care of the link, although I do have to go back through the entire series and do it now. I mulled over that wording when originally writing and it's the best I could come up with. — KV5 • Talk • 16:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Done. — KV5 • Talk • 16:30, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
