I guess my question to all of this would be:

How do you really know if the scouts are right or not? I mean, I guess you could go into the editor and figure out exactly what a player SHOULD be rated at, but without doing that, do we ever REALLY know that the scout is right about a player?

I had a scout rate one of my MLBers as 88 (out of 100) power in a season of mine and he hit 12 HRs in 485 ABs. I mean, sure, it's sample size obviously, but I like to think that "Hmm... maybe my scout was wrong about this guy."

I guess maybe I don't want to know if they are right all the time as it is now. But I've pretty much assumed that margin of error is built into the scouting system. Maybe I'm wrong though.
