Interesting ideas but I doubt to some extent their grounding in fact. Might lead to a good discussion, though.
I would think that MH would have announced the concept of fuzzy (i.e., potentially inaccurate) coach and scout ratings. That would be a major change and he would be uncharacteristically remiss in not informing the community of it. Same thing for introducing coach and scout personalities, albeit a very intriguing prospect.
One quibble: Am I reading this wrong or do you contradict yourself in this sentence?

I don't use any player ratings in my games except fielding and speed, having been converted years ago to Malleus Dei's "Let's play stats only!" crusade. So when I draft, I depend exclusively on the scouts' ratings and the draftees' records in college and high school.

Or do you mean scout's
recommendations at draft time? And, if so, if you have ratings turned off for the most part except for fielding and speed, does THAT affect the ability of scouts to give good recommendations? I don't know the answer to that, myself.
You know, MH keeps talking (as he always does) about improved AI. Maybe it's especially true this time, with this version. Perhaps you are merely being outplayed, for now, by the AI including drafting the best players?
EDIT: A major thought just hit me (and hurt my head, by the way). What if what you are saying about fuzzy coaching and scouting ratings is true and is part of the campaign to improve the AI in this game? Hmmm. Conspiracy theorists, fire away!
