The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Positions come first, specifically per NCBASE; second base was their primary position, they never played 1st base (other Jose's primary position). José Abreu (second baseman) is my vote. "Negro league" is an umbrella term that covers all of black baseball. This player never played in any league but on an independent team that might be considered a "major" independent team since it was the remnants of a once-major league team. If the player was white, we would dab using their position. Rgrds. --

Just for clarity's sake, originally this page was at "José Abreu (Negro leagues)" & the current White Sox player was at "José Abreu (baseball)". For proper DAB, I moved "(baseball)" to "(first baseman)" & this page to "(infielder)" – as this article stated his position at that time – per
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (baseball players) #3. It was brought to my attention that "(infielder)" doesn't really DAB well from "(first baseman)". Looking closer at this player, his primary position was actually second base, so I edited the article accordingly & proposed moving to "(second baseman)". If an RM wasn't already in progress, I would have just moved it outright. But the unclear DAB is why the OP made this proposal to reverse the move. Rgrds. --
