I will surely make steps to make him good in my franchise play in spite of his B rating. I still think out of a strong list of catching prospects... Ramos is highly underrated at a B rating. Montero is going to be a terrific hitter. Posey will be a good player and a great hitter for average, but I have seen scouting reports with him at 20-25 HR a year and I don't buy into that. And we haven't even mentioned Derek Norris (Nationals fans) or Jason Castro (Astros fans).

I am excited to see the catchers that are coming up! Give em all A's!

I agree. Much safer to go with an established young guy than to go with any other prospect just because people are clamoring for it.

Posey easily and without a doubt has the potential to hit 20-25 plus home runs a year.

As you and others have shown, you don't have to be a fan of a certain team to mention or talk about a certain player. For anyone who thinks that they have to follow "their team", you don't. I know a ton of people who have only followed teams because they think/feel that they have to for various different reasons.

As for Austin Jackson, he definitely deserves an A potential. I don't care how high his strike out rate is. That means absolutely nothing for a player who has the skill set/ability that he does.

I was just saying...
In a roster where: Buster Posey, Jesus Montero, Wil Meyers, Carlos Santana, Derek Norris, Jason Castro, and Tyler Flowers ALL have A ratings...

Wilson Ramos has GOT to have an A rating too.

Anyway I think the issue is that the Twins have too many A rated prospects already on the roster and one needs to be sacrificed in order to give Ramos an A.

Austin Jackson also deserves an A rating but he is by no means an established player after only one month. He won't bat .360 all season long.

A player's B potential rating really isn't that horrible. There really isn't high potential players to edit like there was last year; especially position players. Most of the A editable players from the default roster and updates are pitchers.

Any ETA on V2 yet?

While I do not usually get involved in the player ratings issue, I do agree with those proposing to bump Austin Jackson to an "A". Yes, it is unlikely that he will still be batting .350 at the end of the season, but how many other "A" rating players bat .350.

The fact is that so far he is performing well and has been improving by striking out much less frequently than he did in the beginning of the season.
