Thank you!

1. For scouts (and coaches) I do a csv dump, and use excel to look through them. Makes it easy to sort for what I'm looking for - and toward the end of the columns - the excel has a decent built in overall "grading" system for each of the different types (Manager, hitting coach, pitching coach, scout, and doctor). Some may feel this is "cheaty" though.
(I quickly sort by age - to delete the retired guys, then I sort team (so I can focus on unemployed) and a secondary sort by grade that I'm looking to fill. This puts all the unemployed guys on the top, ranked highest to lowest. Pretty quick and easy to find what I'm looking for.
Scouts have ratings (Scout majors, minors, international, and amateurs). Higher score is better.
Coaches have ratings too, but (I think) except for "focus" they are hidden in game (but show in the csv dump).
It's VERY rare I have a poor scout, as I check every season for scouts. I have no issue firing my scout to upgrade (but will keep a slightly less talented scout if he is much younger).
2. I use both, and weight them in my mind according to the talent of my scout. If he's a good scout, I heavily lean toward his opinions. But, will check the OSA, particularly if he is not performing up to ratings (even good scouts get stuff wrong, so more info is helpful).
Edit : In case anyone reading doesn't know how to dump :
In game ... Game/Game Settings/Database tab/Database Tools Dropdown/Export data to CSV files
Then to get it on your spreadsheet .. open your sheet.
Go to Documents/OOTPDevelopments/OOTP Baseball 19/saved game/YOURGAME/import_export/csv/..... Then drag the "coaches.csv" file to your sheet.
