July 9, 200322 yr I guess this why Ulises Powel hadn't pop up in any of the stats. If I was hitting like him I'd want to change my name :thumbdown It isn't often that someone sends a question to Ask BA and then answers it themselves, but that's what Steve Haws (Las Vegas) did. Steve and a couple of other readers were wondering what happened to outfield prospect Ulises Powel, whom the Marlins touted as a potential Vladimir Guerrero last offseason. Powel hasn't shown up in any stats anywhere this year. The reason, Steve discovered, is that Powel's real name is Juan Lindesey. More significant, his birthdate turned out to be four years earlier than previously believed. Lindesey is 22, not 18, and he's scuffling in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. He has hit .129 with nine strikeouts in 10 games, and he has grounded into double plays more often (five) than he has collected hits (four). http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/colum...ists/askba.html
