 * Question. Has he played in a major league baseball game? That seems to be the crux here, but I was unable to confirm this as I don't understand what it means for him to be 'drafted' by a major league team, and couldn't find confirmation of him having played in the major league.

 * No he hasnt.. he was drafted but only played for the minor league affiliates. Spanneraol (talk) 12:42, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: Fails GNG as not notable. Fails WP:NBASE and sources available are mundane news reports (including the one provided above) allowing only for a career pseudo biography permanent stub. Otr500 (talk) 04:48, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * GNG requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. I am not sure what defines a "mundane" news report or why this article, even if it is "mundane", would not be considered significant coverage given that it is a substantial length article from a reliable independent source of which Lindsey is the subject.  This article is also all about Lindsey and is hardly a news report.  And this is also a significant length article about Lindsey from an independent reliable source and so I am not sure why this would not meet the actual GNG definition.

 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG, per Rlendog, which overrides WP:NBASE. Ejgreen77 (talk) 14:07, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Los Angeles Angels first-round draft picks. The coverage cited for GNG is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL and thus actually doesn't go towards establishing GNG. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
