Note: I'm saying reports, not scouting.
Note: I'm not hijacking the thread on SP's being scouted as RP's, because I want that to be addressed and resolved. I notice it in every single league I play in (see signature), and it's been a topic of conversation over the last month or two as we advance through years of drafting etc. I can provide screenshots and examples abound. It is, however, another example of how these reports are broken. Please don't forget this thread:

It goes beyond the SP/RP issue. Here's an example with picture proof. I have a 29 year old right fielder who has led the league in hits 4 years in a row. As you can see in the following images below, he is
1. a proven great contact hitter
2. league average corner OF'er
3. has awful, but existent ratings in the IF (1B)
Here's his profile page:
Here's more info on his defense:
Here is his scouting report which says:
1. he owns a glove that will prove useful in the infield (no mention of outfield, although it states he's a right fielder)
2. he doesn't yet own a bat.
And lastly, here's my scouting info, showing the ratings of my scout and that I spend the max on scouting to avoid such snafus:
I don't expect to live or die by the scouting reports. I do, however, expect them to be pretty close to EVERYTHING else that's already pretty close. There's no excuse for this player to have a scouting report touting him as a defensive specialist in the infield who may or may not develop a bat.
