I will review this soon. Seattle (talk) 19:53, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

OK:

• What does the quote in reference 5 mean?

• Refs 8 + 10 could use a quote parameter

• Can you justify "The Baseball Page" as a reliable reference? It's dead, too

• Watch odd "/" in infobox

• Link "Washington Senators" and "scout"

• At the time, Tavener was 5-feet, 5-inches tall and weighed only 128 pounds. convert, not sure we need "only" here

• When Tavener reported to Detroit, manager Ty Cobb immediately concluded that Tavener was too small to play in the major leagues. is that OR, or does a reference support that

• I think you could combine the first three paragraphs in the "Cobb passes due to Tavener's size" section

• While Tavener eventually bulked up to 138 pounds, at 5-feet, 5-inches, convert the lbs, and the feet doesn't need to be repeated

• Combine the fourth + fifth paragraphs

• After his brief tryout, what does that mean?

• The lead is out of chronological order, and makes no mention of the Indians other than a passing phrase

• Indeed, the 1922 and 1924 Panthers, with records of 109-46 and 109-41, have been rated as the 17th and 4th best minor league team of all time. by who or what? Do we need "indeed"?

• In 1925, Cobb was still the manager of the Tigers, but Tavener had proved himself in Fort Worth. Accordingly, Tavener rejoined the Tigers in 1925. Topper Rigney had been entrenched as Detroit's starting shortstop since 1922, but Tavener quickly took the job from him. is that OR, or is there a reference for that?

• Tavener compiled a somewhat disappointing .245 batting average in 1925, but his 11 doubles, 11 triples, and 47 RBIs were encouraging." does Baseball-Reference say "somewhat disappointing" or "encouraging"?

I could go on, but you get the feel. Copyedit the article, and get back to me. Seattle (talk) 02:25, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
