As for the previous post maybe scouting departments are not using their time wisely. That may be the next article we see.

There are teams that are consistently better at drafting and developing players than others. Good ones for many recent years are the Braves and Cardinals. For years the Orioles and Mariners were just awful. Just a few examples. I would like OOTP to replicate this--teams with better scouts and larger scouting budgets get better results with their later draft picks than those who choose to allocate their resources in other places.
