Lindsey has also played in the Florida Marlins, Seattle Mariners, and Colorado Rockies minor league systems as well as in the independent Can-Am and Mexican leagues.\n', '

A football and baseball star in high school in Hattiesburg, Lindsey was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 13th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball Draft. He played in the Rockies farm system from 1995–2001 with stops in Portland, Asheville and Salem, never rising above Single-A.\n', '

In 2002, he signed with the Seattle Mariners and played for the Single-A San Bernardino Stampede and the Double-A San Antonio Missions from 2002–2004. His best season was in 2002 with San Bernardino when he hit .297 with 22 home runs and 93 runs batted in (RBIs). Although a scout had told Lindsey early in his career that if he consistently batted .275 and hit 20 home runs he would likely reach the major leagues, Lindsey remained in the minors, in part due to his weak defensive skills.\n', '
