I have never messed much with the default settings. Lately I've switched the scout accuracy to "high" because they seemed so wacky when suggesting draft picks and giving lousy FA relievers high ratings. This thread is making me think I will go back to "normal" and change the rating weights instead.
Not to derail the thread, but some of the comments here make me wonder if there should be a "coach/manager" rating too. It would give the GM a second in-house opinion, and represent the real-life divergence between scouts and coaches. I don't know how the mechanic works now, but maybe the coach rating would be based more heavily on player attitudes/work ethic/current season, with the scouts more focused on tools/past performance. And it would be interesting to have OSA (sort of the Baseball America/groupthink scouting), the scout's reports, and coach/manager appraisals. It would make for an interesting 3-sided data set instead of the duality we have now: useless OSA and possibly useful scouts.
