Powell is more noteworthy than this article was letting on. He was the key player in one of Scott Boras' attempted end-arounds to defeat the MLB drafting system, although in Powell's case it didn't really work. The rules about draft eligibility were changed due to Boras' and Powell's actions. Also, Powell is not from Raleigh, he's from Apex, and really shouldn't be included in a "people from Raleigh" category. Jsc1973 (talk) 02:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
