There are at least two guys who played more than 40 games at 2B in the American League with lower fielding percentages, so I removed the reference to it. While biographies are not supposed to be love letters to their subjects, there is no reason to include this information if it is not especially germane to the subject.

Truth in and of itself does not make it notable and you still haven't justified its relevance. You apparently have a thing for citing the worst fielding percentages among qualifiers, but unless there is something notable about the "badness" of the fielding percentage, it's a minor stat of no relevance. If you notice, player boxes here do not mention fielding statistics at all. LightningMan12:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Player boxes only mention a few stats. I believe that there is a max of 5 or so. The major stats urls all mention fielding percentage. That is what makes it notable as a stat. And this fellow is a league leader in low fielding percentage. That is notable, as he has distinguished himself. I'm not aware that he has led the league in any other area during any year of his major league career. Your first points were baseless and arbitrary -- you picked 40 games, not the qualifying stats. Now, you are trying to concoct/assert other arguments. This article is not limited to complimentary statements.--Epeefleche14:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure what your affection for noting low fielding percentages, but I am going to do here what I did elsewhere and amend your statement to note the qualifier which you yourself deem important. LightningMan15:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In the interest of ending our communication I will leave your addition in. Though it makes as little sense to me as it would to add it to the batting title leader.--Epeefleche03:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
