Are there any free pictures to use where he's actually playing baseball? I think that would be prefferable. ABart26 22:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trade to Cardinals.

Hey folks let's not jump the gun here. Please wait until the trade to the St. Louis Cardinals is official before updating that info on the Wiki. Thanks & have a great Wiki kinda day! Sector001 (talk) 20:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He's not traded yet. He is still a member of the Dodgers, and the Cards need his health records. --69.225.157.100 (talk) 21:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's official now: http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/article_c10621c9-f333-5444-982a-de160b1aa923.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.134.132.72 (talk) 04:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When you change info like that it also needs to include a citation of the source as well. I have fixed that now. Not sure why everyone and their pet monkey felt they needed to jump the gun and keep adding the trade info before it was a done deal. They need to bone up on Wikipedia policies on biographies of living people and "breaking news" IMHO. Sector001 (talk) 05:32, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The teams have not actually made any announcements yet so its not officially official.. but close enough that i wont revert right now. Spanneraol (talk) 06:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
