Not a particularly notable minor league baseball player. Yes, he was "once touted as one of Major League Baseball's top prospects," however many, many players have been named "top prospects," therefore that in itself does not make him notable enough for an article. It is debatable whether his collegiate accomplishments merit an article. His placement on the 40-man roster is not inherently notable either. The long and short of it is that he became a 12-21 pitcher with a 6.30 ERA that never went above Double-A, who in my humble opinion does not merit an article. Alex (talk) 05:47, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete- Doesn't seem to meet the accepted inclusion standards for baseball players, as nearly as I can tell. Carrite (talk) 16:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I missed the part about the subject having been on a national team, my bad. Carrite (talk) 22:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep As a member of the US national baseball team he participated in international competitions at the highest level. "Sports figures are presumed notable ... if they: 1. have participated in a major international amateur ... competition" Kinston eagle (talk) 00:10, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Per Kinston eagle. Since it's not mentioned in the article, it's easy to miss, but a quick web search turned up mention of his stint with Team USA in 2002. Someone needs to fix that. -Dewelar (talk) 00:55, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I didn't see that in the article. I wouldn't have nominated him if I had known he played on the US National Team. Alex (talk)


 * Keep per Kinston eagle and Dewelar, played in a national team (can see why the nom missed it though). Jenks24 (talk) 11:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Nomination withdrawn and only Delete vote removed above, seems like a slam-dunk Keep based on National Team status. Feel free to shut this down with a Speedy, someone. Carrite (talk) 22:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
