 * Delete Not noteworthy. Automatic  Strikeout  04:00, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I found the following mentions of him which I think at least establish marginal notability:, this is in Spanish, but it can be roughly translated, and the following from MLB Trade Rumors, which some would consider reliable, and others would not: , . I don't know, it's borderline, but I think that this at least has the potential to be notable.  Go   Phightins  !  00:09, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The clips from MLB trade rumors are minor mentions only.. not the significant coverage that would be needed for a full article.. The clarksville blurb is just routine game coverage and the other two are minor pieces. Spanneraol (talk) 02:08, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:NBASEBALL criterion 6 says that "published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject" is necessary for an article's subject to be notable. The first three sources, I believe, meet that criterion. The other option I suppose would be to wait until he signs with a team as he's a minor league free agent and add a little bio of him on their minor league players page. If we insist on deleting now, I would appreciate this being userfied so that, when the time comes, it can be added to the appropriate team page. I don't feel strongly about it, but I just think that an argument can be made that he's notable.  Go   Phightins  !  02:43, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I have reviewed the sources cited by Phightins above, and carefully considered Spanneraol's comments.  I believe this is a borderline case, and the sources cited vary from trivial transactions column to routine game/season mentions, with one exception.  The best source to date which provides some depth of coverage of the subject is an online sports blog.  Add that all up, and this subject doesn't quite cross the WP:GNG finish line.

 * Delete I agree with Dirtlawyer1. This is a borderline case, but one just beneath the threshold. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:44, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
