Posted July 19, 200321 yr Just read this... The Marlins are fairly loaded with a strong group of potential stars. Arguably six or seven of the Marlins' prospects have the potential to be top players at their position. While Florida's current line-up is "punch-less", Stokes and Cabrera project to provide much needed pop in the coming years. On the pitching side, with a talented group of young arms currently in south Florida, a new group of fireballers is curently making it's way up the ladder. Finally, a big alert for all you Rookie ball fans. The Marlins recently signed an outfielder by the name of Ulysses Powel. Powel was signed by the same scout who found Vladimir Guerrero and the scout compared Powel's potential to that of the Dominican superstar. Keep an eye out for reports coming out of Florida; Powel may be this year's Hanley Ramirez or Felix Pie.
July 19, 200321 yr his name isnt Ulysses Powell.... there was a whole thread on why thats not his name i think he aged some too... i think edcanes started the topic on it
July 20, 200321 yr 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
