Talk:Luis Castillo (second baseman)

message: In 1997 Luis Castillo was sent to the minors not even half way through the season where he went to play the rest of the season. He wasn't injured during the World Series like this article suggests. Castillo came off the DL in May and continued to play until the acquisition of Craig Counsell. After Counsell's arrival he was beat out for 2B and sent back to the minors to work on his base running and hitting.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.35.75.64 (talk) 17:24, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

message: After reviewing this, there's a lot of work to be done yet for it to reach GA. The lead is one sentence. That's not gonna cut it, it needs to be much better than that.  The Florida Marlins section needs to not be one giant paragraph. Split it up into a few nice ones.  Surely the Minnesota/New York section can be over a paragraph since he spent two seasons there.  Plus, a lot of his accomplishments should be able to be entwined in the article.  If you can, try and add some non-baseball info in, like his family or otherwise. That I know is difficult though. 
In conclusion, I have to fail this for now. It's well on its way though. I can try making this a GA myself if you want, but do what's listed above so that it can at least get to "on hold" status for GA. Wizardman 20:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, I'll look it over again. (I'd improve it myself and repost it, but with how bad the backlog is it wouldn't be seen for at least a month) Wizardman 02:35, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Review

message: Hi, I have reviewed the article according to the Good Article criteria. For the record my knowledge of baseball is very limited, so you are getting a review from this perspective; although this should be an advantage I hope! I will place the article on hold, I'll do this for at least one week unless all problems are addressed. Following one week however I make no promises. I'll list the issues/problems I have here according to the criteria:
1. It is well written.
* In the lead you start using MLB without any explanation. Before an abbreviation is used should follow the full word (e.g. Major League Baseball (MLB).    STORMTRACKER  94 11:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You have clearly not done everything I listed. One big thing is there has been absolutely nothing added on his personal life. See my  marks above. - Shudde talk 03:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Passed GA. I am not 100% confident this would survive a Reassessment because one sentence on his personal life may not be enough. This section should certainly be expanded. Congratulations on the article. - Shudde talk 20:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good Article Assessment 

message: The leading MLB in preseason walks thing is troublesome. It mentions his 56 at bats, but a walk of course doesn't count as an at bat. I would substitute the number of plate appearances, but I don't know it.
Maybe just delete the mention to how many at bats?
Or, in six months from now, will anyone even care about this? Maybe it should be deleted altogether.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.182.172.229 (talk) 17:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  2009 season 

message: Can the New York Mets section be sourced? I know nothing about baseball but I think it needs a bit of work to stay as a GA. Spiderone (talk) 17:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
