I'm thinking about the Pittsburgh Pirates here.... 3B Freddy Sanchez is batting .346 playing fulltime after batting .290 as a part time player and pinch hitter last year, He is the Real Deal... Ronny Paulino is also batting over .300 at catcher he shouldnt have the best ratings right now but a lot of potential... Utilityman Jose Bautista should have monster potential ratings, hes been turning the corner and is being talked about in Pittsburgh as being a compliment to Bay in the middle of the order pretty soon... 2B Jose Castillo is another good young player who is starting to turn the corner .... I also think pitchers Ian Snell, Paul Maholm and Zack Duke should have average to below average current ratings but a ton of talent... you got a first round pick, a guy who dominated the minors and his rookie year last year, and a 2 time Pirates minor league player of the year....

I'm not totally all for the Bucs though... Chris Duffy should have terrible ratings even after a short stint batting .300 last 2nd half... he is terrible, and is a selfish jerk which makes it worse.... Also, Oliver Perez is downright terrible, his good season 2 years ago was a total fluke... Kip Wells, also awful, coming back from an injury now, I'm dreading watching him pitch every 5 days
