 * Delete. Batted .214 in rookie ball in 1987, then disappeared.  Notability apparently based on a college home run record, but the Texas Rangers only made him a 20th-round draft pick so apparently hitting 45 home runs in 4 years of Missouri U baseball isn't overwhelming (it didn't even get him into the college's sports hall of fame).  Name barely appears in any of the reliable sources referenced.  —Wknight94 (talk) 21:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only WP:Verifiable information about Rogers is that he played a season of Single-A baseball and he once held his university's home run record (mentioned in passing). Everything else is either unverifiable or about the achievements of people around him. • Gene93k (talk) 21:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable one year minor league career, college and high school achievements really do not address why this person should have a page. Hardnfast (talk) 11:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
