You can def scout some good foreign and Indy league players over the course of the game. It all depends on who is getting cut. Even myself I've cut guys then all of a sudden I see them pop up 3 years later and are catching on.

All those young players don't get stat lines cause they share limited playing time with a ton of players. So you are never sure who is gonna develop and who is gonna bust. That's the best things about full universe the rejects might actually get playing time some place else and put together stat lines year after year. Then you realize the players you gave playing time to stink while the released guys were good.

Plus I rather take a chance on Japan league cuts from their draft then most scouting discoveries I get. Every now and then I get something developing with scouting discoveries. But most of my development from the lower leagues is from me searching foreign and Indy leagues.

I actually wish MLB had a foreign draft just so OOTP had to implement one. It be cool to have a 2nd draft and have leagues in DR and Ven and around the world we could draft from. Anything to make discoveries more interactive like free agency and the real draft.

The July Int Am Free Agency is just broken. Give 5 million to the top player you or scout thinks he signs the next day. It's just no fun.
