1B Andrew Lambo.
My scout Masanobu Ono has his Contact/Gap/Homerun/Eye/AvoidK as 13/15/11/8/11 on 4-5-2010.
OSA ratings are 8/10/5/6/5 on 1-1-2010.
If I go back to 2009, Ono and OSA only change by 1 or 2 points over the year.
What do each of these mean? I'm guessing there is some error in Ono's scouting. But what about OSA? Are those true ratings? Is that what the "computer scouts" think, so they are subject to just as much error? Help!

There is some error in Ono's scouting and the extent of which is determined by the overall settings you said and his ratings and talent preference (Tools/Ability). The OSA rating should be thought of as a "computer scout" or a very poor generic scouting service. The OSA rating, by and large, has a larger amount of error than any decent scout that you hire. As a player gets older and spends more time in the major leagues, the two will tend to converge in my experience.
