Not a particularly notable baseball figure. He played in the minor leagues, though he never reached the majors. He managed in the minors, though only for a few seasons and not very well (.482 winning percentage; never reached playoffs). Managing in the minors does not make one inherently notable, as the multiple articles of mine that have been deleted would attest. I guess it really depends on if one thinks a minor league GM is notable or not...and I really do not believe it is. Alex (talk) 06:01, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I tend to think minor league managers are usually notable... and this guy was a GM which should make him more worthwhile. Spanneraol (talk) 02:01, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As well as a ballplayer -- the articles I read by clicking "news" above reflect sufficient notability.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
keep. Multiple gnews hits showing significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject including this and this. if you're looking for non-local there were others from the LA Times behind paywalls but appear to be significant coverage. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:40, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
