So, about that pricey superb Japanese scout...

My current scout is not bad. His ratings are Great / Great / Excellent / Excellent.

However, I am noticing significant disparities between what he seems to think a lot of players are worth and what other teams think they are worth. This would be fine, except that many of the guys he really likes seem to be underperforming. It's less than one full season, so I do understand the small sample size issue. But I also wonder if I should upgrade in this area.

I just feel like my hands are tied by not getting good enough information.

There's a Japanese scout with insanely good ratings. I've heard others talk about him before. Some said he was great, others said he was TOO good and made the game simply too easy. For a rebuilding team, accurate scouting is extremely important, but I don't want someone who is "unrealistically perfect." Any thoughts on this?

Should I maybe pick someone who's better but not "Excellent" or "Outstanding" everywhere?

BTW my existing scout is half a mill a year for the rest of this year and 3 more. If I fire him, do I pay all of that up front? If so, I am actually fine with that, as I have a bunch of cash on hand right now that I don't have anything to spend on through the end of the season.

Thanks.

PS He's made three "discoveries" so far that are so horrendous that IRL I would have chastised him for even emailing me about them. I mean, the absolute worst scrubs imagineable, one guy had literally not even one potential rating near average.
