I also thinking for next season, with the new IFA invites, I should lower my current international percentage, perhaps 10 or 15% and route the saved money to amateurs? The way it works now is I don't think I'm getting much of a ROI as the scouting discoveries are usually pretty weak. With the new invites I pick and stick with the same 10 players. These 10 are added to the scout task list, and once getting a report are readded and scouted again and again until the signing period arrives.

Exactly right. I think I'm typically at 10% for MLB (higher for historical sims, where I don't know all the MLB players; lower for current season, where I basically know everybody already, and have my favorites and non-favorites). Maybe 25% for minors, because I typically have teams that suck and could actually use the Rule 5 draft. At least 40% and have been as high as 50% for amateurs. (I like to focus on guys with at least some juco or college, since they can more reliably be projected, and are closer to the majors.)
Agree with you on the IFA invites. I've been through it once, with very cool results, proceeding as you suggest with scouting. Of course you need reliable information to figure out who to invite to camp. I tend to fall back on the consensus names, with some thought to organizational needs (usually catchers, pitchers, middle infielders).
