baseball probably has the most busts and unknown stars of any sport out there, its the hardest to scout because there are so many factors in making a pro baseball player. There are countless "can't miss" High school standouts, drafted high and never making it to the show. OOTP scouting just reflects this. A guy that everyone passed on could develop to be a hall of famer in real life, or at least a multi-time all star. and a guy with great skills and potential could have some serious drug or mental issues and never make it to the pros.

Every GM in baseball wishes their 1st round picks were sure MLB stars or even guaranteed to make the starting lineup, that just isn't the case.

Does anyone know how the AI views players in the draft? Do they look at real stats and potential or scouted values? does turning scouting off also mean the computer drafts differently?
