It says in the article that Lowry enjoyed a very successful partial rookie year in 2004, going 6-0, which is second in San Francisco Giants franchise history only to that of Kirk Rueter who went 10-0 to start his career. This is an incorrect, or at least misleading, statement because Reuter's 10-0 start to his career was with the Montreal Expos. Taking this into account, doesn't Lowry have the Giants franchise record for the most wins at the start of a career before losing a game? --Wolfer68 (talk) 20:07, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That fact just isn't true. This is what his MLB bio says: "by going 7-0 over his 1st 16 career starts (6-0 in 2004, won 1st decision in '05), owns 2nd longest career-opening winning streak by starter in Giants franchise history...only Giants starting pitcher to open career with more victories without loss is Hooks Wiltse, who went Major League-best 12-0 to open career for 1904 NY Club (courtesy: Elias Sports Bureau)..".[1]. It would be great if you could make the needed changes. Thanks.User:calbear22 (talk) 20:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Reuter statement was apparently there for a while, too. I've made the correction (although I referenced a different source) to cite that it is at least a San Francisco Giants record. I hope you don't mind the clean-up I did to the article as well. --Wolfer68 (talk) 21:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm okay with combining the sections but the new version deleted some information. I'll go back and add some of the information back to the current version later.User:calbear22 (talk) 22:10, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. Although, I do think that the breakdown of yearly salary #'s is a bit overkill and the extraneous info on the game in which he played right field wasn't needed, especially since most of that was added in the day after it happened. --Wolfer68 (talk) 22:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not as much of an issue as I thought. I agree with the trim down for the right field game. However, on the salary break down, I think it matters how much he is paid each year and what the performance incentives are. It's factual information that some hardcore baseball funs do wonder about. Other more prominent baseball players have their salaries listed in their articles too.User:calbear22 (talk) 02:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
