Same here. Just last week I was marveling at this 3B Esteban Quiros who I signed in 2004 as an FA to a MLC, he didn't make it past AA through 2008 so I released him. Somebody picked him up and in 2010 I was surprised to see him starting against me, I check his ratings and he's suddenly Good/Brilliant/Average. He led the league in HRs that year and posted a solid line in 2011 as well.
