Non-notable minor league baseball player. Saying that he "could be" good in the "next few years" is speculation. Could be notable then, but isn't now. Wizardman 15:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ATHLETE; as far as "projecting him to be a potential impact player... within the next few years" goes, see WP:UPANDCOMING. JohnCD (talk) 18:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & Redirect to Minnesota Twins minor league players. That's what articles like that are for. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Minnesota Twins minor league players per NatureBoyMD, though without redirect (since presumably his name will only remain in the article as long as he continues to be a Twins minor league player). BRMo (talk) 06:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge without Redirect to the list, violates WP:CRYSTAL. Completely agree with Brmo's rational. FingersOnRoids♫ 21:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge without Redirect to Minnesota Twins minor league players. Fails WP:ATHLETE; invokes WP:CRYSTAL. Rosiestep (talk) 22:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If you merge, but don't redirect, then what's the point in merging in the first place? How is anyone going to find the merged information? -NatureBoyMD (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could redirect, but presumably his name eventually will be dropped from the article when he's no longer in their minor league system, and someone will have to remember to go back and delete it or change the redirection. BRMo (talk) 23:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
