Completely unreferenced article, poorly written, about a non notable individual. Previous afd led to a merge but he is no longer with the Giants. Spanneraol (talk) 22:49, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aparently the article was moved since previous afds, which are here and here.Spanneraol (talk) 22:51, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and clean up. Has played in the Dominican Professional Baseball League, the highest-level league in the Dominican Republic, therefore he passes WP:BASEBALL/N. Alex (talk) 12:32, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Dominican Professional Baseball League is a winter league for (mostly) low level minor leaguers, and should not be considered a top-level competition. If it does fit under BASEBALL/N, then I say delete per WP:IAR. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:17, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As I have said and proven, the DPBL is not only for low-level minor leaguers, instead a large percentage, if not a majority, of its participants are players with major league experience, high-level minor league experience and top prospects. The same reasoning I have used to defend the articles of these players has been used by others to defend keeping pages of those who played in the Mexican League (and other relatively weak national leagues), which I would argue is a much less competitive league than the DPBL. I would highly suggest a discussion on changing the wording of WP:BASEBALL/N at the appropriate talk page, because I would likely vote delete if the stipulation I'm citing wasn't there. But as it is written now, I cannot with a clear conscience vote delete. Alex (talk) 05:51, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Same reason as Muboshgu.--Yankees10 17:46, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – per Muboshgu's argument. Winter leagues are almost never considered elite pro leagues – they wouldn't be playing in winter if they were. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:06, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
