 * Weak keep But I'm not too sure how to handle phantom ballplayers. Alex (talk) 12:39, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If there's sourcing, we keep under GNG. If there's not, we delete for failing to meet GNG. They get no presumption of notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:02, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete for nomimation. Stat sites confirm that he's not a phantom player but the subject has yet to pitch a single inning of MLB baseball. He is in the Phillies AAA minor league but not on their 40-man MLB roster. Blue Riband► 23:05, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, he was a phantom ballplayer since he was called up to the major leagues but didn't play in any big league games. Alex (talk) 23:07, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Usual analysis for non-notable minor league baseball player . . . no presumption of notability per WP:NBASEBALL because he's never played a MLB game, and media coverage of his minor league career has not generated sufficient depth of independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.  We do not extend a presumption of notability under WP:NBASEBALL based on a player being listed on a MLB team's 40-man roster; must have appeared in an actual regular season MLB game.

 * Delete Not enough coverage to establish GNG. Those indicating delete for not playing in MLB are missing the point slightly. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:02, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
