Notability. The fact that this individual played baseball in the major leagues in of itself does not make this individual notable. I request that this article be considered for deletion. Jerskine 21:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. As per WP:BIO "Competitors who have played in a fully professional league...". He was a first-round pick and played 6 seasons with 6 clubs prior to being profiled in the New York Daily News for post-9/11 health reasons. Canuckle 21:34, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep - to short circuit any further waste of time, WP:BIO states that "A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards.... Athletes: Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming or tennis." Alansohn 21:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. He was a major league baseball player, which means he's notable per WP:BIO. User:Canuckle's reasons are also solid enough for me. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 22:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- per all of the above. Eddie 22:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per all of the above. What motivated this? Burntsauce 22:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: he played in MLB, he's notable per WP:BIO.NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 23:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Even though he had a relatively short career, the simple fact that he was a Major League baseball player justifies keeping his article on wikipedia. Because he is notable as a baseball player, I believe that his article should be further refenced with statistics from his baseball career. I will try to accomplish this by seeing if I can find the relavent information. Citizen Dick 23:56, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Easily meets WP:BIO like virtually all professional league players. Although some expansion is require for the article. JForget 23:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
