If you have scouting set to 100% accurate as I suggested all you need to look at for player evaluation is ratings. Part of keeping it simple at the beginning.

Later on when you introduce some fog if the scouts are highly sklled I'd still look mostly at the ratings. Real life Norm Cash hit .361 and won the batting championship but we know from his career his actual ability, what we'd call ratings in the game, was to hit 280. The game will do the same thing. Rely on ratings over stats.
