A seven month wait is utterly unacceptable, so I am going to try and review this. I'm not as active these days but I'll make this a focus and get through it as soon as I can. Wizardman 04:39, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Wizardman. I'm not as active as I was either, so we can muddle through this together :-) Go Phightins! 20:56, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

To start, there's quite a few refs tagged as deadlinks. Oddly enough, the ones I checked worked fine for me, though there are a few that need retooling here. Lead, refs, stat sections, and copyright issues are fine. Wizardman 22:47, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Here's what I found through opening day:

• "The Phillies entered the offseason with a strategy of "reloading, not rebuilding"." Quotes need citations (i assumed that it was in the following sentence but that wasn't the case).
  • Fixed. Not sure what happened.
• "A week later, the Phillies announced that" You start this paragraph with two acquisitions that occurred a week later and month later, but there's no beginning date to tie it together.

Overall, an issue I do have with the article was it gets a little bogged down with detail; it's not really noticeable except for the final paragraph "recaps" in each month which really aren't necessary. For GA it's not a big deal, though if you were going for FA prose fine-tuning would definitely be needed. As for any remaining concerns, they are below:

• "Days after he was optioned to AAA for consistent work, " I get what it's saying, but it took me a little while; maybe just take out the "for consistent work" part, since even if it wasn't a bit confusing that level of detail isn't that necessary.
• You note the Fausto Car- I mean the Roberto Hernandez trade twice in subsequent sections; I'd take it out of the august section since it's repeated (moving the stats to the trade section is fine).

Article's on hold until the parts are fixed. Wizardman 02:17, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

The above's been fixed and I went through and did another small sweep, so I'm passing the article. Wizardman 16:37, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Wizardman! You're the best. Hope all is well. -- GP!
