I did some more testing with the same team and settings. The bug is minor but can be confusing for new guys like me IMO.

My Nats game starts with Jose Lopez as Head Scout and it gives you a scouting report from him dated 3-24-08, along with the OSA report.
I fire poor Jose on 3-25-08 (opening day) and hire head scout Jorge Barrias with ratings of 97/101/101/101.

As of 3-26-08, the game is now displaying the new SD's name (Jorge Barrias) with the previous HS's 3-24-08 report- even though he wasn't hired yet. The report belongs to Jose Lopez, and due to his ineptitude, leaves much to be desired.

When 4-1-08 rolls around, Jorge Barrias issues his latest and greatest overall scouting report and of course there are numerous changes that occur in players ratings and potential.
Now granted, if you are paying close enough attention to the dates, it should occur to you that Jorge Barrias couldn't possibly have written the 3-24-08 report, but since there is so much going on with OOTP9, it makes it very easy to miss this fact.
What you end up with is what I described in my post above... you think your spiffy new scout is hard at work separating the wheat from the chaff, and you blindly start trading, hitting the waiver wire, etc. until 4-1-08 rolls around and you start crying because you have to start ALL over again.
