If he were in my barn, I would probably geld him because his lines are un-even.

If you don't care about that, and he's better than or equal to your A's, then keep him intact.

I'm starting with foundation mares, so most of my horses are a tad bit uneven right now. He is currently my only breedable stallion, so I have nobody to compare him to (except a colt I'm probably going to geld). Based on his foals alone, is he worth keeping? I'm not sure what exactly is considered "up to snuff" on this game.

I second the making of a nice foundation stallion. Or pick one up from the rescue. He would be far better suited to your mares.

Quality is it a bit hard to judge when you aren't sure what to compare him too! Is he better than his sire? Probably not, only being bred to a foundation mare. Is he good for his generation? Well you can't judge that because his is mixed generations. So by most people's standards, simply on pedigree, no he isn't a decent stallion prospect. But if he is what you want to breed, then he is decent for you!

As everyone else has said though, when starting out it's worth putting your foundation mares to foundation stallions up for public stud, or buy one from the foundation rescue! You can then improve with each generation and have something to base quality on! Also if you buy era1 foundations you probably have a better chance of getting on the Leaderboards because most people are only up to the second generation there
