Not the only way; you can also go into Commissioner Mode and see exact ratings via the Editor tab in each player profile.
Airdude, if you're concerned about ratings, be sure you're looking at the real ratings; you might have bad scouts, and in any case all scouts are inaccurate. I'd bet Airmen started with ratings produced from a database import, and OOTP has an excellent track record at producing ratings that will reproduce player statistical performance; I'm sure he hasn't systematically lowered every rating in the game, and I doubt you'd be happy with his roster set if, as you request, every rating was increased by 50. If you raise ratings for both pitchers and hitters, this very possibly won't make your star hitters perform any better, since they're playing against better pitching. What this would certainly do is make bad players closer in performance to good players by raising the ratings floor and lowering the resolution of ratings scales. You can see this by imagining the limit case of adding 250 to all player ratings; then all players would become the same.
