Lynch --
My drafting experiences mirror yours, and I try to avoid picks where my scout's views differ greatly from OSA's.
This doesn't bother me too much though, because I just pretend that OSA is like ESPN or other media that "rate" players.
These media guys compile opinions from throughout the country, and so they do a good job of picking young prospects.
My scout travels the country but can't see everyone on the board, and so he's going to overrate a few guys and miss some good prospects.
That's how I try to justify this in my head, anyway.
But I agree that using OSA will lead to better results in amatuer drafts. I don't use OSA much once a guy is in the majors though.
