I would prefer my scout to be all in on a player. Let me give an example.
Lets say my scout is bullish on a Centerfield prospect, and he thinks that player is going to be a 4 star or 5 star potential player. The OSA has that player going 12th in the mock draft and the OSA says hes a 3.5 star.
My scout might be wrong and when I sign him, his actual potential is revealed.
I think where I'm losing the fun in scouting and drafting is, I request reports on the entire first round and my scout says the majority are 2 star to 2.5 stars. No 4 stars. No 3.5 stars. No 5 stars.
What about the kid who is injury prone and slips to the second round and is a diamond in the rough?
I'm not asking for realism to be sacrificed. I'm asking for storylines around the prospects that dynamically change how they are perceived by the OSA and Mock drafts and other drafting teams.
I know that that those 2.5 stars can develop into 5 star players. But the hype of picking between 15 2.5 stars with the 5th pick is what is nagging me.
