Not notable minor league baseball player. Retired due to injuries without reaching the majors or having any real success in the pros. College baseball career alone is not enough for notability and article is unsourced. Spanneraol (talk) 22:33, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Poorly sourced, but said sources exist. Twice chosen in the top 10 after a stellar college career, he's a pretty high profile bust. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] – Muboshgu (talk) 00:12, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He's not a Brien Taylor, but he's notable. Alex (talk) 21:37, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
His college career, arm issues, and sources from major papers dedicated to him push me towards a keep, which is difficult for a minor leaguer to do as we all know. To make it clearer I added some of Muboshgu's sources into the article. Wizardman 22:23, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
