just as in RL, the quality of competition is so low it amounts to a very thick fog of war.
e.g. a state HS all-time HR leader fizzles out in the minors every year (a bit of an exaggeration, but a real example my home town off the top of my head - a small town too). it amounts to a crapshoot, so don't hang your hat on them.
if you don't have ratings on, then i bet there's some glimmer of information that it provides, but still incredibly blurry at best. you have much higher% of success by going with ratings > hs/colelge stats of draftees.
when drafting at the top, make sure to dump a little more $$$ into amatuer scouting that particular year. don't skimp on a good scout... once one comes available dump your current ASAP... well worth the investment.
keep staf costs <10M and you are good... if small budget constaints, skimp on MiL coaching costs before you skimp on a scout.
spending as much as needed on a scout and trainer is a good idea no matter what the budget.
