Record brewing[edit]

If Stairs makes the Padres’ opening day roster, it will mark his 12th major league team, the most for a position player (Source). --17:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

is capslock really necesarry?[edit]

does "HE IS THE MOST TRADED PLAYER IN THE MLB, WITH 13 TRADES" really need to be in all caps?? 1joe60 (talk) 02:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Picture?[edit]

Shouldn't we get a picture of him wearing a Nationals jersey instead of a Padres jersey? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.43.80 (talk) 19:39, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NESN appearances[edit]

Lately (June 2012) Matt has been appearing as a studio analyst for Boston Red Sox broadcasts on NESN, FYI. Wambag (talk) 00:15, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Former" or "Retired[edit]

The article indicates that Matt Stairs is a 'former' player. As he is doing analyst for the Red Sox, and has not played in more than two years, should he not be indicated as being retired? Reverend Edward Brain, D.D. (talk) 22:15, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I looked on several retired MLB players pages and "former" is used as the term on all. Ckruschke (talk) 16:54, 31 December 2013 (UTC)Ckruschke[reply]
