Review

• 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)

Lead

• You mention the Dodgers twice in the lead

Amateur career

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

Professional career

• 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)
  • That was Pujols who was 16-for-35, not Prior. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
• Why is ref 18 needed for the last sentence?
  • Shows he was 7th in Rookie of the Year Award voting. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:43, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
• 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)
• 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"
