Which "Scouts" are best for the draft?

KGrob · 04-21-2009, 06:19 PM

I have my own scout that has his ratings.

Then there are the OOTP ratings.

At the beginning of the draft, in the initial notice, some "experts" cited a "top-10" group that is different than either of the above.

And...I saw mention of a "top 100" player list or something like that (I deleted the notice) but I cannot find anything like that now...I don't see any top-100 lists anywhere.

Then there is me...LoL...a total Noob...all I can do really is look at other peoples scouting...or is there something else I can do?

I'm just wondering what you guys do to evaluate players prior to drafting them.

I have scouting off all the time and just pick the guys I like the most. Nothing very scientific about my draft strategy.

To find the top 100 prospects in the league, go to drag down menu between Manager and Teams. In mine it's MLB. Then go to Reports and Top Prospects. All sorts of interesting screens in the Reports section.

Thanks,

Also, I just discovered how to conduct searches so I have been doing a little searching for info.

It's remarkable how effective a search can be in certain instances.

Again, thanks for your help. I'd never be at the point I'm at without your continuing support.
