List of Silver Slugger Award winners at pitcher[edit]

Nominator(s): KV5 (Talk • Phils)
Toolbox

The last of the Silver Slugger series. To all reviewers who have been so helpful in the promotion of the first six lists, I thank you. As with the DH list, it is half the size of the others! As these are completed, I will progress to WP:FTC. I appreciate all help and comments. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Truco
Lead
  • 'He is also the leader in runs batted in, with 16 in that same season,[7] and is tied with Robinson (1982).' -- So how is he the leader but tied with Robinson?
  • Robinson and Hampton both have 16, so they are both the leader. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cannot it not be reworded to state that more straightforward, like 'Guy A and Guy B are tied as the leaders in runs batted in'?--Truco 21:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Tom Glavine is a four-time winner (1991, 1995–1996, 1998) with the Atlanta Braves,[8] and Rick Rhoden (1984–1986) and Don Robinson (1982, 1989–1990) each own three Silver Sluggers.' -- Did Robinson and Rhoden win those awards with the same teams or multiple teams?--Truco 21:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Multiple, which is why I didn't elaborate. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can that not be stated?--Truco 21:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could be, but I don't see why it's necessary. Glavine's was mentioned to emphasize his longevity with the Braves. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL.--Truco 00:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - Only a few minor things to clear up before I support. Good luck with the topic.

  • Move reference 5 to be after the comma.
  • "Mike Hampton has won the most Silver Slugger Awards as a pitcher; he won five consecutive awards with four different teams from 1999 to 2003." Redundant use of "won". Perhaps change the punctuation and use "winning"?
  • "Hampton has hit the most home runs in a pitcher's Silver Slugger-winning season; he hit seven in 2001." Here, "hit" is repeated. Personally, I like the "with" setup for numbers in the other lists, and later in this one. How about some variant of that. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done all. I don't know HOW I missed that first one... KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Looks fine now. Great work on this series. Giants2008 (17-14) 00:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "Hampton's 1999 on-base percentage is also a record " Besides being unnecessary, "also" is confusing since it sounds as if you've referred to his on-base percentage before.
  • "Orel Hershiser leads pitchers in batting average, with the .356 mark he set in 1993.[14] Micah Owings is the slugging percentage leader (.683 in 2007)." So Orel Hershiser leads pitchers in general, or just Silver Slugger-winning pitchers? Same with Owings. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
    • Pretty much all the comments I made on the other Silver Slugger FLC apply here... certainly my confusion over that sentence, the four wins separated by just commas, not an endash, the "bat trophy" comment... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I believe that these have all been addressed or otherwise corrected per the DH FLC. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 17:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
