I am not in front of my game atm, but I did find a guy who was an international amateur signing by Baltimore who was at AA and they left him unprotected in the Rule V draft, but he was stuck behind 3 other outfielders that were highly rated prospects so I was able to snag him and give him a look because I was an expansion team and had a hole in LF, which he was rated 80/80 defensively. His potential was 80/80 in contact, gap, eye and avoid K's so I was very excited to give him a long look in the spring. Needless to say he made the team as my 4th outfielder but ended up taking over as the starter around the all star break due to an injury to my starting LF and has been the starter for the last 6 seasons. He did reach his potential in all areas but his highest batting average was this past season when he hit .368 and 45 doubles, but has only hit over .310 two other times, the other season had been in the .280s or higher. He has been a very good player for me and bats 2nd and has become a fan favorite and I locked him into a 4 year extension so once that runs out, he will be 33 so I may let him walk if he gets too expensive.
