You won't be hurt by creating your own scout as you can simply go into the editor and give your scout (Cal Ripken) whatever ratings you like. If you feel Ripken should have world-class scouting skills, go ahead and create his ratings to reflect that. It's really up to you!

What are some ideas I could use when it comes to starting my franchise? Any tips or advice?
how do you keep up with every team and player in your affliation?

I don't think it's possible to keep close tabs on EVERYONE in your organization but believe me you will keep eyes on the ones that are the most interesting. You can use the 'shortlistt' feature to keep closer tabs on people and to periodically check in, or you can just take close looks at your minor league reports every week or two.
But as for a general overview, the transaction screen (presuming it hasn't changed in OOTPV13) is a great place to get a good overview of your franchise and to be able to quickly check in on players at all levels. You will probably find yourself spending a lot of time there.
Have fun with it. I'm guessing it's your first OOTP? I've been playing since V5 and even played V2 in the beginning, so it's old hat to me, but I definitely remember the excitement when I was first getting into this game. I think V13 is helping me recapture some of that too with its fresh new look!
