I am running into similar issues. I started a 08 Nationals GM game and the first move I make is deep-sixing the head scout for his poor performance.
I hired the best guy I could afford (97/101/100/101) and he accepts on March 24th. I also up his budget from $2M to $3M. Great! Now I can go to town rebuilding the Nats, right? Wrong.

It looks like (having trouble telling) the game waits until April 1st to do a scouting report from the new guy; in the meantime, even though the pulldown scout menu says that the new guy has done the individual player report (vs. the OSA) after a few days, old Jorge later gives me a fresh scouting report and BAM!- all the guys I thought I was getting with good star ratings plummet to league dregs. Doooh! Game over!

Is there a way to launch a new ML game with 08 rosters AND start before spring training? Right now I am so new as a GM I squeak every time I turn around, and I feel "rushed" with the game starting on March 23rd.

Help! Throw me a bone with any scouting tips on it... WOOF!
