High school years
  1. Was this a Giants record or MLB record?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  2. WTF? How can a 21st rounder get paid more than anyone between the 2nd and 20th rounds? What does the source mean "he wasn’t the normal 21st rounder". What was unusual about him to earn him such a bonus.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think, from the source's wording, the bonus was an MLB record at the time. I would assume he got the high bonus to deter him from attending college; unfortunately, I can't find any sources about it. Apparently, despite the Mirror's claim that Ishikawa was not a normal 21st round pick, his drafting still wasn't that big a deal at the time. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

This claim is so incredible to me that I am going to post at WT:MLB to request assistance, correction or clarification. Otherwise, I think it can be passed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:18, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They came up with a good source for you to fill in the story from. See this article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:09, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are misinterpreting the source. I believe it was in spite of that fact and because of all the high picks who signed for small bonuses quickly, plus the deadline, plus the threat of school. Please reread.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for reviewing, and let me know if you have any additional concerns. Based on the fact that Ishikawa played the whole 2013 season, I'd assume he'd try to be back for 2014 (though he will probably be in the minors for most of the year). At any rate, he hasn't officially retired yet. Personally, I think he's a pretty good pinch-hitter. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that if you can find his parents' names that would be helpful.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:19, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
