Ken Bracey

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Former minor league player and manager who more recently worked as a special assistant for the Padres and Dodgers... but none of those jobs satisfy the baseball notability guidelines and he doesnt seem to have enough sourcing to meet GNG. Spanneraol (talk) 03:53, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep His service at the major league level, plus his winning a notable award as a scout (he won the Legends of Scouting honor from the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation in 2011), just pushes him over the top for me. He has a hybrid case, a la Robbie Widlansky (but Bracey has actually done something of note). He was named the Midwest League Scout of the Year in 2004. [1] If it means anything, he is considered " One of the most respected scouts in baseball." [2], [3], [4], [5] EDIT: Changed vote to full 'keep'. Alex (talk) 04:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The three MLB refs are a media guide, routine coverage, and a press release. The USA Today source, is pretty solid even if it is technically an interview. I'm not convinced it's enough on its own, but that combined with the scout of the year note in the baseball hall reference puts me in the Neutral category here, would like to see an extra opinion or two.

Delete an interview (and a rather brief one at that) and an award for 'Midwest League Scout of the Year' are not enough for me. Mellowed Fillmore (talk) 04:21, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
