No reliable sources to make this person notable per WP:ATHLETE, also sounds like it's reading as a crystal ball. Giants27 T/  C  20:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The Rookie Ball League appears to be a training league and certainly not a fully professional sport. Unless I have misunderstood this, delete. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete "Rookie ball" may be a professional league, but it is about as low a class as you can get to still be called "professional". Nowhere near the "top level" or "medium level". We're talking sub-basement. Technically it passes WP:ATHLETE as a "professional", but common sense should say he does not. DarkAudit (talk) 21:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Rookie leagues are not sufficiently notable as the sole basis of inclusion for a baseball player. Jouer au Fat (talk) 22:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment That account only has 5 edits to date. However I have the feeling it's a former user because its second edit came to its monobook page which I didn't find till at least my 1,000th edit.-- Giants27 T/  C  23:04, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment It is indeed true. I have exercised WP:RTV. Jouer au Fat (talk) 23:45, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete One season in the Gulf Coast League and no 3rd sourse coverage does not meet the standard agreed upon for inclusion of minor league players. Hardnfast (talk) 12:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Detroit Tigers minor league players. Seems like a good candidate for that article.  I'm not sure if I agree with the principle behind "minor league players" articles, but it currently exists, so might as well use it. — X96lee15 (talk) 14:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Disagree This too deep into the minors to be worth consideration for merge. I'd even consider looking at the "X minor leauge players" articles for culling. These guys are "professionals" in the technical sense, but the general feeling is that they aren't notable enough until they get to at minimum AAA level. DarkAudit (talk) 18:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, maybe recreated once he gets to the majors or is on the major league roster (40 man roster) but right now, he's at the lowest level possible.User:MrRadioGuy What's that?/What I Do/Feed My Box 20:18, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Too early to merge to the team lists and not notable on his own. Spanneraol (talk) 22:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Detroit Tigers minor league players (assuming this article survives its own AfD, which is presently underway).  caknuck °  remains gainfully employed  17:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
