I will review this article shortly. Albacore (talk) 22:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am considering failing for a lack of comprehensive information. By looking I can tell this article is rushed, and it does not have all available information included. For instance, by looking at his MLB profile bio I see the name of his wife and children. I see that he played "American Legion and Babe Ruth ball as a youngster with former offensive lineman Everett Lindsay". I see that he threw a no-hitter against Garner High School. He played in the Pan American games for America in 1991. He was a closer for North Carolina and sustained a patella tendon tear in 1991. He was inducted into his high school's hall of fame. Expand the article and inform me when you think it's done. Albacore (talk) 15:40, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, okay. I'll see what I can do. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the name of his wife and that he has four three children. I've beefed up his high school career a bit, including his no-hitter and honors. I added his appearance in the Pan American games, and that he closed in college. I can't find any news sources that talk about Shuey in American Legion or Babe Ruth baseball, or that he played with Everett Lindsay. I can't find that it was a patella tendon tear. I'm assuming that the MLB bio can't be cited as a source, although maybe it can? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:38, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The profile is what I would call a reliable source, and is acceptable. Albacore (talk) 00:33, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why I thought it wasn't. I've used it, and I think added what needs to be added. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:22, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2000 and later to come. Albacore (talk) 18:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, PTSD? How the hell did I not find that? HighBeam FTW I guess. I'll search that resource in more depth while review continues. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:26, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • they hoped to pair him with Dodgers closer Éric Gagné to form a strong bullpen for the later portions of games not sure Dodgers is needed here, seems redundant
  • The Dodgers sued the Hartford Life Insurance Company over Shuey's $3.25 million salary for the 2004 season, saying the insurance company did not honor their claim. I don't follow... maybe explain?
  • Reference 30 does not support the claim the most lopsided Orioles loss ever and the most lopsided in the majors since 1897, a 30–3 defeat to the Texas Rangers.
  • In 2004 while rehabbing, he had a hip injury which ended his rehab [4]. Possibly from fielding a bunt [5].
End of review. I'll look over the article again, and re-review when these fixed are applied. Albacore (talk) 19:11, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
