He showed up in MLB in 1987, so I would imagine he does show up. Don't remember getting him in my random debut leagues yet though.

That's sad, I can remember him playing for the Portland Beavers in the mid 80's. RIP.

Sure, he'll definitely show up! Anyone who ever played in MLB will show up, and if you turn on historical minors the vast majority of minor leaguers will as well.
