Birthplace
His birthplace is relevant information and should be included in the article. The IP addresses recently removing Bush's birthplace cite
I realize that Bush is not notable for being born in San Diego, but the solution is not removing the information from the main text of the article. Ideally, it would be moving the birthplace to a "personal life" kind of section, but there isn't one at this time. The opening paragraph is the only part of the article other than the "baseball career" section, so it's the only place to have Bush's birthplace. It's not sufficient to have information only in the infobox. -Phoenixrod (talk) 05:49, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Is it safe now to call him a former player?
Bush was just sentenced to three years in prison for DUI--meaning he won't be out of prison until he's 29 years old, way too old for a major league prospect. Given this, and his own statements that Tampa Bay was his last chance, I wonder if it's too soon to call him a former player, and thus the third number-one pick to never play in the majors. THoughts?

Highest level
The addition that he "never played a meaningful game above the Class AA level" seems a tad negative. It would be more
