I know exactly what you're talking about. This 'pairing' of scouting reports doesn't seem to have anything to do with scout ratings or scout preferences, from the small number of checks that I've done (and are there any scout preferences for pitchers anyway?). What makes me think it's somehow coded into the game is the alarmingly consistent reports from one scout to his twin; it's not like they agree on a few things, they agree on absolutely everything, and seem to do so throughout their scouting careers. It also seems to happen on other scouting tasks, or at least when I scout my own organization.

Because of this, I don't see any point to have two scout 'twins' both scout the same draft; the second doesn't give me new information. The best prospects are the ones your non-twinned scouts can agree on, and they are, of course, rare after the first round.
