I'll review this article sometime in the next few days. Wizardman 17:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"Weber signed his first professional contract with the Cincinnati Reds as a non-drafted free agent in August 1999" What I'm getting is that he transferred and played at Texas tech as a junior, then despite not being drafted, signed with a team instead of going back to college. Is there more to this I'm not getting or am I misreading?
- Nope, you got it. He wasn't drafted after his junior year, making him eligible to sign as a free agent. He opted to do that rather than return to college for his senior season. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:23, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if Thermogin should be linked, mainly because it's rather odd that this is the only article linking to it.

"making the Rays' opening day roster, until Matt Joyce recovered" I'd use before rather than until, sounds a bit better.
"and led the 2009 International League in doubles" how many doubles?

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when fixed. Wizardman 03:10, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
