### Review
I've emailed a few users on Flickr asking them to release photos of Prior. I have gotten one reply so far about the use of this photo, will keep you updated. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:07, 4 September 2020 (UTC)


#### Lead
You mention the Dodgers twice in the lead


#### Amateur career
Birthday unsourced
Prior attended the University of San Diego High School is a really short sentence. Even adding "Growing up" would help


#### Professional career
teammate should be capitalized.
You use the "days later" in two sentences, maybe change the wording and expand on his hamstring (ie. include that he was 16-for-35 (.457) in his last nine games)
That was Pujols who was 16-for-35, not Prior. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Why is ref 18 needed for the last sentence?
Shows he was 7th in Rookie of the Year Award voting. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:43, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
I don't think the use of the word "nasty" is NPOV
Are four refs needed to prove Selected as National League All-Stars in 2003?
He finished 2006, how about He finished the 2006 season
I suggest merging the two sentences on the 2007 season with the one below it
Please spell out General manager instead of just using GM since this is the first time it is used
Reference 64 needs the author
Reference 67 has the wrong author
What does Used out of the bullpen for the team mean?
Means he was used as a relief pitcher. It's a common baseball term, and bullpen is linked, in case people don't know what it means. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:48, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Reference 73 needs an author
Reference 77 needs an author (Aaron Gleeman)
Instead of using ref 18 for free agency, you can use this one
Reference 78 is dead and not an WP:RS. You can just use ref 79 for both sentences
Reference 80 needs an author (Teddy Mitrosilis)
Reference 81 needs an author (Gary Schatz)
Reference 83 needs an author (Jeff Passan)
I suggest changing it to "Personal life" not just "personal"

It’s noted that Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin called Prior one of the best players he coached at Vanderbilt. However, their time with the Commodores didn’t overlap. Prior was at Vanderbilt 1998-1999, while Corbin didn’t become coach there until 2003. 104.166.41.60 (talk) 13:04, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
