He's a .238 career hitter in the minor leagues and as a reliever he has a 4.81 ERA in 71 games. In short, he is not particularly notable - yet. One thing he has going for him is he appeared on the Marlins 40-man roster if I recall, however even that does not make a player inherently notable. Alex (talk) 22:02, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

• Merge There is certainly useful coverage of the player than could be added to the article, but as it stands, a section in Florida Marlins minor league players is more appropriate. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 20:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
• "He was designated for assignment on July 27, 2010", I'm not 100% sure what that means, was he released from the orginazation, if that's the case Delete but if he's still around merge with Florida Marlins minor league players. Secret ^account 00:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
• He's still in the Minors so remove the delete vote.
• Keep if indeed he was on a 40 man roster and was DFA'd. I think that establishes notability, and many at WP:BASEBALL agree with this view. --Muboshgu (talk) 04:40, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
• Me and Halvorsen brian are members of WP:BASEBALL and we disagree with the view, theres no source that he was on the 40 man roster anyways. Secret ^account 03:42, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

• I don't disagree that there could be notability, but there is nothing cited in the article to establish said notability. Right now, I still think a section on the Marlins minors page is appropriate. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
• Delete There is a lack of multiple independant reliable sources on this article with significant coverage of the subject. Therefore he fails WP:GNG. I would also note that he fails WP:NSPORTS#Baseball so the arguement that someone is in the baseball wikiproject and they don't agree is moot because it was the baseball project that created those standards. -DJSasso (talk) 11:41, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

• Keep and improve - members of a 40-man roster have generally received enough media coverage to pass WP:GNG.
