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:

  • There's a bare URL ref that needs fixing.
  • "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]
  • "Canton sold Weber Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks " sold to the
  • Not sure if noting the OBP and SLG every year is useful. If it moved around in a couple years then that's fine, but if nothing out of the ordinary then it's not really needed.
  • "for violating minor league baseball's drug policy Weber, who" period after policy.
  • 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]

Everything looks good, so article passes. Wizardman 05:03, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
