 * Delete Only coverage I see refers to him being the Carolina League MVP in 2011. A+ at age 25/26 means he isn't a prospect, and there is no other coverage to speak of, aside from game logs that don't detail him in depth. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:38, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to Kansas City Royals minor league players, since he's under contract with them for 2013. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 18:53, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on that argument, every single player in the Royals organization should be listed on that page (and every other player in every other organization on every other page for that matter). Some level of notability is necessary to prevent these pages from becoming cruft farms. I believe these pages should be reserved for players on the cusp of GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:21, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Every single player in the Royals' organization SHOULD be listed on that page, if there's someone interested in adding the information. Wikipedia is not paper. There's no reason to restrict membership to a totally arbitrary and unenforceable standard like "players on the cusp of GNG". Particularly given that we're talking about a player who won his league's MVP award in the not-too-distant past... -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 15:38, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, the inclusion criteria for the list in question don't say anything about it being exclusively for players on the cusp of individual notability. They just say, as follows, "Below is a partial list of minor league baseball players in the Kansas City Royals system." Well, Gac is a "minor league baseball player in the Kansas City Royals system". He falls under the stated criteria. If you don't want players like Gac on the list, you should try and get consensus to change those, first. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 19:49, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The guidelines at WP:BASEBALL/N do mention these minor league player articles also... so those should be consulted. I've always felt that these should mostly include players who are actual prospects rather than career minor leaguers. Spanneraol (talk) 20:02, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * My point is that adding every player in the organization would be cumbersome, making the pages useless, as it would be hard to find the more notable individuals in the sea of hundreds of, frankly, nobodies. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:09, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
