• Keep This guy played in the World Baseball Classic which alone should be enough to qualify him as does playing for the national team in Panama. Spanneraol 23:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The article says (without a source) that he represented Panama. He was 40 years old at the time, which should lead one to suspect what represent means. Panama has a huge inventory of Major leaguers to choose from. Why should they choose a career minor leaguer? It is highly suspect.--Truest blue 00:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply A quick google search leads to the WBC Rosters [1] He is included on the Panama roster.
• Keep. Since he represented his country in the highest level of international baseball, I would assume he qualifies for wikipedia. Even if he only pitched four innings. Len Picota 0 0 2.25 1 1 0 0 0 4.0 2 1 1 1 0 2 2 1.00 0 0Ravenmasterq 02:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per participation in the WBC. Unlike some countries in the tournament, Panama's team consists largely of players who have not appeared in MLB. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 03:11, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
