I use mostly stats but i still look at ratings some. IMO, they tell me the things a scout would that do not make it into the scouting report, eg. I think this guy is still a long way from potential or your guy hitting .400 in rookie league is in the scouts opinion is as good as he ever will be. So I think the ratings tell something that the reports don't that scouts would report on.
Unless I am starting a fictional league from scratch and jump right in so there are no stats, ratings only play a small role for me but I think they play a role. If you use scouting ratings are only what a scout thinks the guy should do or should be doing. So you have to look at stats mostly anyway. I think the numbers are little easier to judge than sometimes vague text. With scouting I don't trust the fact my scout says one guy has a CH of 8/20 and another 9/20 anyway.
