He appears unlikely to make the major league roster anytime soon if he does, failing that part of WP:BIO. While his college career was good, it is not impressive enough to satisfy notability. If anything his notability has decreased in the past two years with a very unimpressive minor league career. Wizardman 01:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep google search and google news show his notability. Atyndall93 | talk 03:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep by simply being an elite college baseball player, he has already played at the "highest level of amateur sports". There are also numerous reliable sources which provide great detail on his life and career. He hasn't lost notability by being drafted in the first round of the MLB Draft and played professionally.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 06:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, he hasn't played professionally. That's the point I was trying to make. Wizardman 14:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

- NoteHe has played professionally, just not in the Major Leagues yet. There is a big difference.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 19:43, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- So, you're saying we should have an article on every minor league player ever, basically. Wizardman 21:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Minor league records show no all-star appearances. At this time, he doesnt meet the qualifications. Spanneraol (talk) 23:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think all first round picks in the MLB Draft are considered high prospects, especially ones that have multiple independent sources such as this one--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 09:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
