Non notable minor league player. If you have the inclination of voting 'keep', first consider this question: would he be notable if his brother wasn't? Muboshgu (talk) 17:52, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not even worth a merge; the career isn't going anywhere. THF (talk) 08:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: 28 years old, never made it in triple-AAA and career in sharp decline? Sorry, not remotely notable. Yes, I'm sure we could fill Wikipedia up - were WP:INHERITED repealed - with articles based around puff pieces of Joanne The Mechanic, sister of the senator, but I don't consider the GNG satisfied when no one in creation would have noticed if the subject's family weren't famous.

Keep passes the GNG. Why he is covered in RSs is irrelevant as long as he is. DC T•C 20:33, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in the AfD for Josh Papelbon, GNG states "presumed", which allows for cases like this, where an athlete fails WP:ATHLETE and any notability is inherited, to be considered to fail GNG. --Muboshgu (talk) 21:06, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He's still in the Cubs system, a merge makes most sense at this point as per past precedence. Spanneraol (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Merge to Chicago Cubs minor league players. Alex (talk) 21:40, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, same reasons as those above. Never came close to being in the majors. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 18:21, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
