Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manny Machado (2nd nomination)
I think there is some confusion above; the Baltimore Sun link says that he is going to start with a minor-league club. It is exceedingly rare for an MLB draft pick to go straight to his Major League team, and it doesn't sound like that's happening here. I don't think it matters as much as some others might, though. Even though he doesn't meet athlete notability guidelines yet, there's clearly enough coverage in reliable sources to meet the |general notability guideline. The coverage isn't all locally-based, either; articles from USA Today and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are already utilized as references
