The result was redirect to List of Boston Red Sox first-round draft picks. "I remember a source somewhere" doesn't cut it.  Sandstein  18:18, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Non-notable minor league ballplayer. Tried to expand it myself but didn't find anything outside of routine coverage (not even a day-after obit, which surprised me). Wizardman 14:57, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

It may be a good idea to just presume WP:OFFLINE sources for this player exist somewhere.--Prisencolin (talk) 18:07, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of Boston Red Sox first-round draft picks where he is mentioned. Spanneraol (talk) 12:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
• Redirecting per Spanneraol makes sense if we can't find enough to support a full article. I suspect that adequate coverage exists to support notability for a full article, but it is difficult to find. I think this article from the old Google newspaper site goes a long way, and there is some minor coverage as well, such as this, this, and if someone has access to a complete news archive I suspect there would be more. 21:44, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

  FWIW, I do have newspapers.com access, and while there are a decent number of game log/routine mentions, I didn't find anything like the Sarasota piece. I'll take a second look to see if perhaps I missed any though. Wizardman 22:33, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

• Keep, can't remember what it was but I do remember a whole newspaper article about him.--Prisencolin (talk) 16:55, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
