J-WhitWhy are you merging the Wittleman page on the Texas Rangers minor league players page. Ositadinma (talk) 00:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
MLB infoboxI take it there was some sort of discussion about infoboxes that I was unaware of, and a concensus was made that we would use the infobox of the major league affiliate for minor leaguers.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Miracle All starsI don't know how to do something, and was hoping you could help. I posted a list of the team's All-stars on the Miracle's entry I don't want it to have a bunch of numbers like it does here; I want it to be: 1) Injured & did not play 2) FSL All-Star game MVP 3) MLB All-Star 4)Promoted & did not play. I don't know how to do that

Chris ParmeleeI think that Chris Parmelee's article was deleted was BS. If you look at the article's history, apparently some sort of concensus was reached back in March or something like that. It was, however, never followed through on. The season then started, he was named a FSL league All Star. Add that to the fact that he was a #1 pick, and he's since become notable if he wasn't before. A new banner was added just before the All Star game, then immediately removed. It was my impression at that point that the nomination for deletion was reconsidered. Instead, the deletion concensus from 3 months earlier was finally being enforced. That makes no sense. He was also the All star game's home run derby winner and the FSL's player of the week the week following the All star game.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:14, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Before anyone accuses me of anything...I went to the page you told me to go. It was my understanding of the directions there that I was supposed to revert the page back to the original article so people could see it. Is that accurate?--Johnny Spasm (talk) 18:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:NFCC #10c specifically requires that a separate, specific fair use rationale for each use of the copyrighted image in question. That does not exist for File:NLW-LAD-Logo.png and Arizona League Dodgers. I'm not particularly interested in your evaluation of me not using my head [1] and being a knucklehead [2]. I am interested in our image use abiding by policy, which this use does not. Either come up with a fair use rationale for this image use and add it to the image's description page, or stop adding it to Arizona League Dodgers. Either of those actions is compliant with policy. Insisting on adding it in violation of WP:NFCC #10c obviously isn't. --Knucklehead (talk) 14:58, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
T-navbar removalYeah, I can definitely do that. -Dewelar (talk) 21:53, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Pedro MartinezJust a head's up about my revert. It's unlikely that the successive stages of a contract signing will be viewed as encyclopedic, or survive future edits. And Martinez's 6 IP in the World Classic hardly merits its own section. Martinez's free agent signings with both the Mets and Red Sox combined take up all of 3 sentences in the article. As Martinez performs for the Phillies, the section will expand soon enough.208.120.7.152 (talk) 17:49, 19 July 2009 (UTC) As you can plainly see, the purpose of the earnings table is to inform people how much money Manny Ramirez earns. He is one of the highest paid players in the game so it is very notable. Faethon Ghost (talk) 15:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC) RostersHi there. My apologies. I had no idea that a change was implemented. I will make sure to follow the new way of doing the roster. Thank you for the info. Maple Leaf (talk) 21:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC) Proposed Steroid ArticleI am not too Biased to write said Article. The Mitchell Report is Biased. Senator George Mitchell conducted this investigation. The list of 104 was seized by the government during this investigation. Senator Mitchell saw the list. This list contained the names David Ortiz, & Manny Ramirez. Senator Mitchell is an admitted Red Sox fan. The Mitchell Report had no mention of David Ortiz, & Manny Ramirez. Yet it included the names of not one, not two, but three prominent Yankee's. Now I ask you. How can we now trust the integrity, of Senator Mitchell, or his 400+ Page report? By the way I don't want to write the article, I think it should be done by someone in the WP BASEBALL. If you want total neutrality it should not be done by anyone is a baseball fan, but good luck finding that person.--Subman758 (talk) 04:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC) If you still feel I am too biased to write said article, because of my feelings of the Mitchell Report. Take a look at this. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4408083 Apparently I am not the only one who felt the report itself was biased. Lets just remember who said it first.--Subman758 (talk) 23:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia talk:WikiProject BaseballI brought the Babe Ruth and Rickey Henderson argument to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball--Johnny Spasm (talk) 12:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC) Minor league tablesHi there. The table format to list minor league/farm system affiliates has improved the look greatly, and now being 15 levels deep (rather than six) is welcome. I have been adding original content on Farm Systems for all the teams except the Dodgers (another user - perhaps you - initiated this and inspired my work) and those I have not yet had time to enter (Pirates, Astros, Padres, Rockies, Marlins, D-Backs, Brewers, Rangers, Mariners, Blue Jays and Rays; hope I can get to them). I think the 15-deep table will be especially useful in converting the pre-1963 farm system section into a tabular format for extinct classifications such as Open, B, C and D, and for accommodating teams like the Dodgers and Cardinals who in their heyday had 20-30 affiliated or owned farm clubs. If we go deeper than 15 teams, we can do a two-column format, which has worked under the old six-deep system. Notes about franchise shifts/collapses, league foldings, etc., which were common before 1963, can go into the bottom of the section outside the tables. I'd like to continue to add to these sections, which I have enjoyed building, and want to use the tables to advantage. Incidentally, my browser (Safari 4.0.2) frequently shows a distorted last row when every row is not filled. The row does not have the save north/south proportions as the upper rows. This could be solved in the past by labeling it level6 (now level15) and the one above it level5 (14), etc. But it could simply be a browser problem on my part.McGill1974 (talk) 01:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of Craig Bjornson I have nominated Craig Bjornson, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Craig Bjornson. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Wizardman 23:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC) Jeff D'AmicoAccording to WP:NC-BASE, if a player spent his whole career with one team, that takes precedence over DOB. I'll have to move that page again. -Dewelar (talk) 00:30, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Standings template (2008 AL East)Is there a reason why {{2008 AL East standings}} was changed so drastically? We started using this new format last year; now, a lot of the changes that we have a consensus on have been removed, including the use of fractions over decimals, the use of an em-dash over two hyphens per MOS, the inclusions of games back, home and road records, etc. No other 2008 templates have been changed in this way.

Lasorda's Kingman RantI noticed something interesting about the Tommy Lasorda Kingman rant, and brought it up for discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball. I think you might want in on this discussion.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:25, 8 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks for the heads-upAbout the minor league discussion. Although I disagree with Vidor's opinion, it just proves that baseball historians and Wikipedians have strong views. Am willing to stop further work until the community resolves whether this data belongs where it is now, or somewhere else. (Just as long as the work a few us of have done isn't wasted.) McGill1974 (talk) 14:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC) File source problem with File:Olsonivy.jpg Thanks for uploading File:Olsonivy.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 16:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC) Free AgentsDon't remove players from the roster just yet. Today was the first day of free agent filings and everyone has not filed yet. Players have 15 days to file until November 20th when the roster lockes for the Rule 5 Draft in December. Teams will add players to protect and remove players. During the two week filing period which has begun the previous team has exclusive negotiating rights for major league free agent. After that two week period they become free agents. But not until, meaning they will be keep on the roster till that deadline (Or MLB removes from the team rosters and puts back after the deadline or they get signed after the deadline). But players shouldn't be romoved until the roster gets stable per MLB. Players like Wolf, Belliard, might sign an extension with the team like Abreu of the Angels before he became an actual free agent. Ositadinma 18:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Francisco LizarragaAn editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Francisco Lizarraga. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francisco Lizarraga. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 7 November 2009 (UTC) Jamie McCourt updates11/12/09 Hi, I saw you removed the owner categories from Jamie McCourt listing. This issue remains an open legal question as to whether Frank owns the team 100% or she owns 50% as community property. it will be months before a court makes a determination (then appeals?), so neither you, nor me, nor Frank, nor Jamie, nor anyone can really say for sure what the outcome will be. It is an open question and any definitive statement either way is questionable. It is just an opinion at this point to say that she owns 0% or 50% or whatever. Just wanted to point that out. mdukas
Alan to AlvinJust a heads up, it's Alvin Davis not Alan Davis. I know it was a long time ago and you probably won't edit the roster or the name again but I just wanted to let you know so you could be more careful with other edits. Good work otherwise. Thanks. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 02:16, 27 November 2009 (UTC) Articles for deletion nomination of Casey DeskinsI have nominated Casey Deskins, an article that you created, for deletion.

Alex (talk) 04:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC) Thanks...For weighing in. I stared at my comment for a minute after making it, wondering if I was too harsh. But if he is not going to follow the standards, or misstate them, it troubles me if he is closing AfDs. BTW, not sure if it is technically a COI, but rather something else. Not sure if I know an acronym for it. But something along the line of not following policies. Cheers.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC) Unreferenced BLPs
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:54, 17 January 2010 (UTC) Your rollback requestHello Spanneraol, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 00:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC) Jerry GroteI brought up a debate converning Jerry Grote and the Colt 45s at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball. I'd like your input on the topic.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 00:17, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Kyle RussellI agree with you on Russell. I thought policy was to go with official MLB/time site rosters unless damning evidence to support otherwise can be presented contradicting them. So far, the links presented by other show nothing conclusion to contradict Russell no being on the Dodgers 40-man. Mattfranko81 (talk) 18:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
