Not notable. Let's wait until he makes it to the majors. Also, there was an Orioles pitcher by the same name in the early 80s, could cause confusion. -- dakern74 (talk) 04:11, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (but don't salt). Agree. Keep at it, Mark. Hope to see you here next year. --Oakshade 06:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC) Vote changed to Keep with new info provided. --Oakshade 23:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ as above; not quite notable enough just yet, but article can be recreated if he makes it to the majors. --Alan Au 07:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to keep following addition of references to major league play. --Alan Au 17:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Has pitched in over 80 games in the major leagues. See: here. I remember when he used to pitch for the Pirates. Wickethewok 09:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Satisfies WP:BIO ("Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league..."). Caknuck 09:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He has played in the major leagues, even if not there at the moment, which clearly meets WP:BIO standards. Eighty-one games is a lot more than Stubby Clapp ever played. -- Fan-1967 16:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Not sure if I can withdraw my own nomination. This oughta be referred over to WP:WPBB so it can be expanded to include his major-league stats. I had no idea he had any. Whoever created the original "fan club" page for him should've mentioned it. -- dakern74 (talk) 17:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Even more notable than the average guy with 81 career games, since he had a seizure in the lobby of the Mets' team hotel and nearly died while on the active roster. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 01:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Incidentally, if you ever need to check whether a ballplayer has spent time in the majors, Baseball-Reference.com is a nice easy reference source. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 01:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the above commenters. Yamaguchi先生 06:37, 9 November 2006
