Review[edit]

  • 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)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • You mention the Dodgers twice in the lead

Amateur career[edit]

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

Professional career[edit]

  • 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)
  • Why is ref 18 needed for the last sentence?
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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"

Amateur Career[edit]

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)[reply]
