Ideally, the scouting model would be brought into the 21st century by giving you the option of projected batting statistics (basically, like the editor but with scouting error / incompleteness. As for the ratings: Certainly, there are trade-offs in the different methods of representing the attributes. I personally find the current model less efficient. For example, if Arraez and Judge are scouted to hit for similar averages, it would be easier to look at their Contact rating without having to look also at their Power rating and then guesstimate how many hits (HR’s) have been left out of Judge’s Contact rating. Perhaps Power could be used like Gap, representing a proportion of the Contact hits that will be HRs (directly or indirectly through HR opportunities, however the engine works. Again, though, my strong preference would be the option to avoid all of this runic mystery with ratings and use analytic-style projections.
