Comments[edit]

The anecdotal story about Baldelli and Crawford racing needs to be sourced or removed. I for one, do not believe it.

yes, i agree their needs to be proof of that race. Also, why is he listed as a fan favorite for his throwing ability? He is below average in this category.

Regarding the 2nd of the 2 unsigned comments above, I'm not sure how the person came to the conclusion that he is below average in terms of his throwing ability. He led all major league center fielders in assists in 2003, with 15.[1] And tied for the AL lead the following year with 11 (Kotsay had the same, but in over 200 more innings).[2]--Epeefleche 23:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No longer a centerfielder, perhaps the profile should be changed to reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.167.178 (talk) 16:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About Illness[edit]

I would like to say that Baldelli's disease was mitochondrial myopathy, but the problem is I got it from a Korean portal site and I can't find it. Mydoctor93 (talk) 04:06, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt if anyone will read this but, a myopathy is a type of disorder, and likewise there are multiple kinds of mitochondrial myopathies. It's a minor detail, and one that has been overlooked by every single outlet that has reported on the matter, both professional and amateur, but it really should be described as 'a mitochondrial myopathy,' rather than as if it were a specific disease. The story is old now, as he has been diagnosed as having (again) a channelopathy rather than a myopathy, but I thought I'd mention this nevertheless. There were even instances where his 'disease' was described as being something specifically called 'mitochondrial disorder.' The Boston Globe even described him during his ordeal as listening to "words without meanings," when the man might have in another world been a Princeton educated physicist. Blah. --Alsodanlowe (talk) 22:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

I think the current picture should be removed as it is not an actual photo of the person... 71.125.81.9 (talk) 04:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bias and dead sources[edit]

There’s some bias and dead sources on this page, so i’ll be combing through it. if you disagree with an edit i make please bring it up here. thanks. Leggomygreggo8 (talk) 06:18, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific about "bias"? And please don't haphazardly cut anything because of a broken link, as the sources can usually be re-found with a quick search. Thx. Zeng8r (talk) 10:44, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
