Suggestion
Create two types of 'hidden players'/international players: those that are 'public knowledge', known to every team (just as in real life, with established players like Daisuke Matsuzaka, and prospects like Carlos Triunfel or Angel Villalona, etc) and those that are genuinely hidden, and only discovered by sending a scout to a country.
Genuinely hidden players should, almost universally, be very raw and very young. If an international signing period is implemented, a scout busy scouting a nation could report once, just before the international sign period begins, on all the hidden players he has discovered (instead of sending several messages during the year).
Those international players known to every team should include some established players (a customizable number) and some raw prospects. A news message at the beginning of the international signing period could inform teams of the established players hoping to come to MLB (or whatever the league name), and of the SISA-ranked top prospects in the international pool.
Reason
Many international signs in real life are not players discovered by the signing team, so the OOTP model seems very unrealistic. By making many international players public knowledge, the AI teams would be better able to compete for international players.
Priority
High.
