 * Keep I'd say he is notable. He was in spring training with the Florida Marlins last year and almost made the team. He signed with the Phillies for the next season. He holds several records in home runs (USF's all-time home-run leader). Does anyone know another player, who ruptured his left patella tendon while celebrating a game winning homer? Maybe Google results are few, but that does come from confusion on his name (Tagg, Robert). Even I as a German user on WP know his name and have Bozied on my watch list. I plead to keep the article about this baseball player, though he has not reached MLB level. --Goodgirl - talk to me 09:25, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs serious clean-up but Triple-A is a "fully professional" league per WP:ATHLETE. Please see, Professional and Professional baseball. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable. Several reasons:
 * Conference Player of the Year in college - sufficient to establish notability as an amateur.
 * Played in a top-level foreign league (i.e. Taiwan) - sufficient to establish notability per Wikiproject Baseball's notability guidelines.
 * Starting first baseman for Team USA in 1999 - also sufficient to establish notability per Wikiproject Baseball's notability guidelines.
 * Also meets WP:GNG - full profiles in the 2003 and 2004 editions of Baseball America's annual prospect guide, as well as numerous newspaper articles (San Francisco Chronicle, ESPN.com, The Rocky Mountain News, The Florida Sun-Sentinel, etc.) Many more available, if necessary. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 18:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
