I agree my frustration is the head scout recommends a player with, in his opinion, has no potential and will not suggest drafting players that he believes do have potential. It might help if the dialog came back with 'we are short on middle infielders in the farm system.' Justifying the recommendation but I have seen cases where the have recommended a position where there is a higher candidate available.
