Experience

All charts count seasons (including the current one) in which the player has appeared in a major league game. Other definitions of experience would entail original research. Official years of major league service and determining rookie year would require original research. Both would entail research beyond simply going to www.baseball-reference.com and counting years, which by some definitions might even be considered original research. --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 17:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by "original research." Major League Baseball has a strict definition of what constitutes a "rookie year." There are minimum plate appearances and/or innings pitched to qualify as a full season both for MLBPA purposes and "rookie" purposes. For example, Jonathan Papelbon pitched for the Red Sox in 2005, but did not pitch enough innings to qualify as having a full year's service. Ergo, 2006 is considered is rookie season. Furthermore, if we're talking about Japanese exports, their previous experience in other leagues have no bearing on MLB in terms of being a rookie or accruing MLBPA benefits. gaillimhConas tá tú? 22:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

As a Red Sox fan, I'm a little shocked that there currently no pictures of Red Sox players in the whole article. Three of the sixth winners of the AL final vote were Red Sox at the time. You have a picture of Damon, but he's wearing a Yankees uniform, a little odd considering he was elected in 2002 but didn't suit up for the yankees until 2005.

And also, the page is under construction, but there are no NL winners listed (Chris Young is pictured though). Also not sure if you mentioned that the final vote is now for the 32nd spot. Thanks, Pats Sox Princess 16:34, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
