After that, you can choose how to rate the 3 years you have anyway you like.

I just don't like scouts being overly enthralled with what a guy did 2 seasons ago...
I try to keep it so any combination of two years of scouting will be valued more than any one year alone, if that makes sense.

That said I have no real problem using ratings a bit as well, and have gone as high as 10% with them. I justify it because players are not totally scouted by statistics in reality. There are plenty of visual things scouts notice as well, such as how well a player physically swings the bat. Larger, more muscular guys are more likely to have more power. Stuff like that. Since we can't "watch" our players I consider ratings to be more of an evaluation on those terms. Still hardly ever have the AI eval on them though.

Note to self: Princess Kenny was really off-putting.
