Great article! It's short, but that's just because Ruf has not played for long. Here are my only concerns.

• In the second paragraph, link hitting streak and other statistics.
• In the first paragraph of Splitting time, change Reading Fightin Phils to Reading Phillies, or Reading Phillies. They didn't change their name until the 2013 season.
• Could you put some stats in addition to home runs for Ruf's 2013 season? Definitely put batting average, perhaps RBI, and defensive stats if you feel those are needed. They might help support the later statement that Ruf is a liability in the outfield and pretty shaky at first base.
• Ruf's ceiling is a platoon player at first base.[15] Eric Longehagen, a baseball analyst at Crashburn Alley, asserted that Ruf's superior intangibles have allowed him to overachieve in terms of his potential, writing,--Eric Longehagen, a baseball analyst at Crashburn Alley, asserted that Ruf's ceiling is a platoon player at first base. He writes, The comment about the ceiling is just Longehagen's opinion, and while it may be right, Ruf could prove it wrong at this stage in his career. Also, if Howard and Mayberry get hurt, Ruf might be at first base everyday whether or not he performs.
• Fix reference 9 so that the title is linked, as opposed to [1] "Cloyd, Ruf win 2012 Paul Owens Awards"]

Once these changes are made, I will pass this article. Nice job! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:30, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
