29 of 31. Only the White Sox and the Giants to go in this Featured Topic drive. Though there's no hall-of-famers here, this is a more accomplished list of players than some of these have been. Enjoy. Courcelles 01:36, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:38, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments: "The franchise has drafted eight players from colleges or high schools in the state of Florida, more than any other." more than any other state. The players drafted from Puerto Rico and Canada should get a mention in the lead. "The Braves have held the first overall pick once, which they used to select Horner." They had it twice actually; used it on Horner and Jones. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply] Taken care of all of those, thanks. (I'll go wipe the egg off my face for that Chipper Jones mistake...) Courcelles 04:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. Now to go work on the White Sox list. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 05:38, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  As a further comment, there's enough room for an extra picture addition if you desire; both Wainwright or Heyward would be good options there. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Good catch. Our picture of Wainwright isn't very good, (being mostly of his back) but Heyward is a good addition, and there's something interesting to say about him, too. Courcelles 16:31, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - best I could do...!

• Shouldn't "a no hitter" be "a no-hitter"?

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Seen it both ways, but since our article is at no-hitter, makes sense to do it that way. Done. Courcelles 20:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support gah, very good indeed. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

• After "Two selections have come from outside the 50 United States", shouldn't there be a colon instead of a comma? Also, I'm not sure the number is needed with the country there.
• There are a couple of capitalized Awards that could stand to be in blue with their respective links. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 20:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Done both. The reason I have "50 United States" is because the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is part of the United States, so without the 50 the sentence becomes a bit nonsensical (or requires a discussion of the political status of the COPR.) Courcelles 20:48, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Same as above: having some quantification of the importance of the first round pick vs other rounds by say looking at the median salary would be nice. Nergaal (talk) 04:52, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • And then? Draw our own conclusions? Looks like WP:OR to me. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:32, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
