Additionally,

1) More detailed scouting and scout interaction.
- Concept of draft board. A drag/drop list of your favorite prospects. Easier to use than the shortlist if it's on the same page as the draft.
- Have scout rank top 100 prospects.
- Have scout suggest multiple players.
- Varied scouting descriptions. Indicate player ceiling and floor (best/worst case estimates).

2) Advanced Stats
- VORP is a good start, but the game needs more advanced stats. This would also make the AI smarter if they can refer to win shares, OPS+, advanced fielding metrics, etc during contract negotiation and trading. With play-by-play data available, this shouldn't be that difficult.

-3) Projections
Vave league wide projections (or on a scout/team basis) before the season. Estimated individual stats, wins etc. It's cool to compare projections to how the season panned out.
