This will be great for generating accurate (to a degree) scouting report and such.
Forth but not the least, OOTP can have virtual columnist who could make fake pre-season prediction/trade commentary/power ranking and stuff like that. (akin to PureSim's PSPN but more complex)

I have not used the ratings translator utility as personally I am not seeking scouting reports saying the likes of "John Basehit is likely to hit about .310." The more vague statements the game makes I actually sort of like. Just as I have taken to playing with few to no ratings, I am into the greater uncertainty.
That said, I do like the idea of something like described here, especially for the media and outside analysis possibilities. I also find appealing even if I did not utilize it the idea of being able to take teams with certain personalities (favoring high OBP, or big power, or ground ball pitchers, etc) and their scouts with their different skills and eyes and then producing more precise, though not necessarily more accurate, scouting reports.
