 * Keep - Seems to have received more coverage than a typical career minor leaguer, and enough to satisfy WP:GNG. He has an extensive Sports Illustrated article about him here, an article about him in the NY Daily News here, an article jointly about him and his brother here, a number of articles regarding his reaction to his brother's steroid accusations, but also covering his career, in ESPN, MSNBC and others, an Orlando Sentinal article about his background and attempt to revive his career here, a San Jose Mercury News article about him here. He also has a chapter in this book, although it may be self-published. Rlendog (talk) 15:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep When I saw the name and article, I wanted to delete as notability is not inherited. However, Rlendog showed sources not in the article that clearly suffice for GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:52, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. The sources User:Rlendog has found are sufficient to satisfy notability. —Lowellian (reply) 07:01, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Though not in the article, multiple non-trivial sources identified to satisfy WP:GNG.—Bagumba (talk) 18:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
