Comment: to Pittsburgh Pirates minor league players.  I've cleaned up the article and added a couple of references.  As a high draft pick, the subject gets quite a few Gnews hits, but I don't see that he merits an independent article at this stage of his career. By the way, there's no way that this article should have been nominated for speedy deletion.  It doesn't come close to meeting the |speedy deletion criteria
