For example, in my league "Fort Collins" tends to be a good offensive team with poor pitching. So I edit all their scouts to be good at finding offensive players and mediocre/poor at finding pitchers. They'll still luck into finding SOME pitchers, but for the most part they'll struggle a bit there.

There's some tweaking necessary year to year (as scouts ratings change) but I have a small league (10 teams) so it's no big deal.
I may have to incorporate that idea into my future solo leagues. I would probably go a step further and set the coaches to be young w/ very long term deals...only issue would be "better coaches" getting positions on other teams.
