Dear Hal Steinbrenner, here is a free agent you can pass on (but wait... he might be cheap!)


Former Test opener Kieran Powell, who last played for the Windies in June 2014, is in Bradenton, Florida, preparing for a tryout day at the IMG Academy on January 13, in which he will showcase his batting and fielding skills in a bid to be signed by a Major League Baseball franchise...
Powell, 25, has played 21 Tests, 28 one-day internationals and and one Twenty20 international since first appearing at international level in 2009. He has three Test centuries to his name, including twin tons made in against Bangladesh in Dhaka in 2012. Despite those successes, he averages an underwhelming 27.48 at Test level. He stepped away following the first Test of the 2014 series against New Zealand for personal reasons.
Wait a minute: He's hitting 27.480? That means he gets nearly 27 and a half hits per every at-bat? That's pretty sweet! He might not have a position, but neither does Beltran. Maybe we should take a flier on him! A five-year deal, like Ellsbury?

    "Test opener"
    "one-day international"
    "Twenty20 international"
    "three Test centuries"
    "twin tons"

    I tried Google Translate for the above but it didn't help. Does anyone know what language that's written in?

    It gets better. That batting average means he scores 27.48 runs per out...
