Yes, but that can be very important, especially when judging prospects- if your scouts agree, the prospect is a safer bet than when one scout loves a guy, the rest don't (very common in the draft).
In a distant OOTP future, I would love to see intricate text-based scouting, things like 'good glove, shame about the bat', 'smart guy, can't play, might make the pros as a manager', or 'has all the tools, dumb as a bag of nails, probably uncoachable', something that gave players a bit of personality, maybe a bit like reports you'd get in real life. Would be a nightmare to code, I'm sure, but would be tons of fun.
As for slumps and streaks, I've seen superstars go icecube cold all season and end up with miserable stats, so I get the impression they modify performance- can't say for sure though!
