I'm a newb and really like this game so far. Here's my questions.

1. Do you pay more attention to your scout's ratings or the players actual stats? For example, if a player around 30 years old had a great season, but your scout gives him a 21 overall player rating, which one do you give more weight to?
2. This question is related to the above question. When deciding on moving a player up or down in the minors, do you pay attention to the stats or the scout? For example, I traded up to get the top pick in the draft(from the 4th pick), and the scouts thought he was ready for the majors right away with an overall rating of 70. I put him in double A to start, and his ERA was 5.13. I went ahead and moved him up to Triple A, and his ERA there is 5.73, and he isn't looking so good. I'm leaving him in the minors, but should I listen to what my scouts say more? I've also seen the opposite true, where a player is tearing it up, and they say to leave him or demote him.
Thanks in advance for the help.
