 * Keep This guy played in the World Baseball Classic which alone should be enough to qualify him as does playing for the national team in Panama. Spanneraol 23:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The article says (without a source) that he represented Panama. He was 40 years old at the time, which should lead one to suspect what represent means. Panama has a huge inventory of Major leaguers to choose from. Why should they choose a career minor leaguer? It is highly suspect.--Truest blue 00:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply A quick google search leads to the WBC Rosters He is included on the Panama roster.
 * Keep. Since he represented his country in the highest level of international baseball, I would assume he qualifies for wikipedia.  Even if he only pitched four innings.  Len Picota	0	0	2.25	1	1	0	0	0	4.0	2	1	1	1	0	2	2	 1.00	0	0Ravenmasterq 02:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, per participation in the WBC. Unlike some countries in the tournament, Panama's team consists largely of players who have not appeared in MLB. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 03:11, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
