Suggestion:
Have scouting reports come in over the course of the time the scout is "on the road". What I mean by this is if a scout takes 280 days to fully scout MLB you get no news from him until after the 280 day cycle. I'd like to see perhaps monthly or quarterly reports coming in on the teams he's already seen. I'd suggest he would start in the league his team is in and them move to the second sub league. Or perhaps we could designate what order we'd like him to scout the league.

Reason:
As it is now if you send him to fully scout a league it's like he fell off the face of the earth When if fact he is holding information that could be valuable to me now.

Priority:
medium for me, others MMV

Additional comment:
Maybe this is not doable because of player movement? You could have situations where a player would move from one team to another and never get scouted due to the scout missing him because of the timing of the player switching teams compared to when the scout saw the teams in question play.
Of course this timing problem could also add to the reality of the game.
