I make sure to send at least three (usually all) scouts to the draft pool so I can at look at the average of their reports and get reasonably close to the player's true potential.
Example: Scout 1 comes back with a pitcher rated at 9-8-7, Scout 2 comes back with the pitcher rated at 5-5-8 and Scout 3 comes back with 7-5-6. The average of those would come back as 7-6-7 and would give me a pretty good idea of his talent, and the fact that those ratings are close to Scout 3's opinion reinforces that.
IMO, if you're going by any less than three scout's opinions on any player during the draft, you're taking a risk that you probably shouldn't.

Is there anyway to see college/HS stats? The scouts are useless and I am thinking of turning them off. It is funny because I will have my head scout do his automatic scouting of my roster on the first of the month, and then scout a player again in a few days and his rating will change 5 points.

That's because your head scout will do a quick scout of the players every month. They aren't very precise, but they're usually in the ballpark. When you send him to scout a specific player, however, it's a full and more precise scouting that should be closer to his real talents.
