I’ve gravitated to neutral scouts, rather than tools or ability focused. I’ve felt that they aren’t as inconsistent as tools oriented scouts and don’t miss as many top end players as ability oriented scouts. Generally I have two different scouting budgets that I use. I have a 40 (majors) / 40 (minors) / 20 (amateur) / 0 (international) that I use as my “default”.. I use the OSA ratings to select which international players I nab and rely heavily on scavenging released minor leaguers for depth rather than international players. If I know I’ll have multiple compensation picks in a draft, I’ll switch to 30/30/40/0.

I am curious to know how others handle their scouting strategy. I’d like to experiment more with tools and ability oriented scouts and would like to know what strategies work best with those mechanics. Thanks!
