In 2003 Ortiz was more or less nobody. In 2004 he makes his first All Star team. Hmmmm......
Ivan Rodriguez though, to me, is the most obvious case. All you have to do is look at a photo of him in his Texas prime and compare it to the little guy who ended up on the Yankees later on.

Ortiz was pretty good in 2003 - 31 HR, 101 RBI, .288. If you look at his career, he was playing more and getting better up to 2003. And after that positive result .... for what? .... he was tested pretty stringently and regularly and he continued to produce at ever greater levels.
