Nutlaw is right- you can only turn 'hidden players' on when you first create a league. Since Cameron Maybin is in your universe, I'm betting you're using a pre-made roster set, and I don't know of any pre-made roster sets that were made with the hidden player option turned on, which is surely why you can't scout other countries (when hidden players are off, the option to scout internationally will not be available).
If it is, as I assume, a pre-made roster set, any issue with scouts might be unique to that set. Still, I have noticed a peculiar phenomenon at times, even in fictional leagues, where two or three scouts give identical assessments of the same player. I notice this most often in the amateur draft, where three scouts are all wildly enthusiastic about a prospect who is still available in the tenth round. If I go into the Editor to look at the prospect's ratings, I notice that he just isn't very good- all the scouts are wrong. From this, and from some long discussions on the General forum here, I've deduced that OOTP has a certain classes of scouts, and scouts in the same class largely agree on players. When I notice this, I fire some of the scouts and hire new ones, to get some diversity of opinion.
