My other observation is that it seems most of the better players in my league were found via scouting international complexes. So I see the AI finding great talent all the time, but in a 10 year span my scout might find 2 players worthy of the big leagues. I check the scouting parameters for the other teams which seem to be very successful at finding talent and in many cases their scout isn't any better at International, nor is their budget or allocation of scouting funds higher than mine.
I chalk it up to pure randomness in the draw.
I hope your scout finds a gem for you soon.

Me too considering I hired the best, albeit most expensive, scout around for $1,200,000/season for 5 years. He better earn his money. Even one all-star would justify that. Heck, even 3-4 average ballplayers could account for that. But honestly right now I feel like my scout doesn't do anything well except give me solid player development reports.
