List of Nashville Sounds coaches

Featured list candidates/List of Nashville Sounds coaches/archive1

Nominator(s): NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it merits recognition as a list of high quality. It is modeled on List of Nashville Sounds managers which is a FL. NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a dumb-ass question from someone who isn't hugely familiar with baseball (although I did once throw the opening pitch for the Peoria Chiefs), but it sounds from the second paragraph like bench coach is a pretty damn important role. If that's the case, why has the team never had one before this year? Might be worth clarifying that......
What is a "relief corps"?
And who are the "staff" that Dabney coached?
What is a "roving crosschecker"?
Think that's all I have...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:04, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: I've explained the relatively-new-to-baseball bench coach role, reworded jargon from the second two points, and linked "crosschecker" to "Scout (sport)" which sort of explains it.) (A crosschecker is like a scout supervisor. Let me know if you think anything more is needed on these points. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:18, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image caption has a few examples of sea of blue.
Avoid use of "hash" (or "pound" in some parts of the world) to mean "number" or No.
What makes some of these coaches so non-notable that they aren't even redlinked?

Otherwise a good list, not sure why it's languished here for so longer with so little comment. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:41, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the first two points. Regarding the third, I've redlinked one coach who meets WP:NBASE. Of the other five, none of whom meet WP:NBASE, two or three are still coaching in the minors. It is possible they could one day coach in Major League Baseball, satisfying WP:NBASE, but I don't know if the possibility is enough to warrant the red link. Thoughts?

Support my concerns addressed and/or resolved. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:40, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

~~The bit about the Sounds winning the 1982 league title in the Garland caption needs a cite, since it isn't mentioned elsewhere.~~
Since being a minor league baseball coach doesn't cause a person to meet the baseball notability guidelines, I'd say it's reasonable to leave them unlinked, as there's no real way to know the active ones will be promoted in the future.
~~In refs 111 and 113, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel should be italicized as a print publication.~~ Giants2008 (Talk) 22:18, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All done. NatureBoyMD (talk) 01:23, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
