Cool Scouting Question

I'll preface this by saying I don't think I've seen this anywhere, so, I'm not sure how this really works.

SCOUTING..
Is this for players and just their development, or is there more to it?

What I guess I'm asking is if I can judge players performance, say at the Major League level, why would I ever need to devote resources (i.e. money) into Major Scouting?

Now, with that question being asked, could/would/ is this be a component of major scout spending...

When devoting money to Major Scouting, and having a sabermetric manager, or having a manager's strategy in PITCHING & DEFENSE using INFIELD SHIFTS.

Having a manager and his team get reports from my scouting department about a hitter who sprays vs being dead pull type hitter make sense for me to spend there.

I guess for summation, I'm looking for a reason to spend in Scouting Majors, but not sure even dropping a Hamilton is worth the effort.
