This player a stud or a dud?

In a league I'm playing, an interesting SP has shown up in the free agency pool. He must be an international free agent find that wasn't signed, as he doesn't have any history or stats.

Here's the tricky part, my scout's latest rating, filed two weeks ago, has him rated as a stud, potential number one starter.

OSA's last scouting report on him has him listed as a complete scrub. However, that report was filed four months ago. My own scout's report from four months ago ALSO rated him as a scrub, but now four months later his report on his is glowing?

For what it's worth, my scout's talents are Legendary/Excellent/Excellent/Legendary for Scout Major Leagues/Scout Minor Leagues/International Scouting/Scout Amateurs. It seems odd that he would have two vastly different scouting reports only four months apart.

So my question, is this pitcher likely to actually be any good, or has my scout just missed the boat on his most recent scouting report? Just trying to decide if it's worth it to send this guy a contract offer.

Screen shots would help.

Not sure how to easily get screens on... I'll try to provide all info as needed:

The prospect in question is 24 years old.

The most recent report from my scout has him as a 6/7/8 potential starting pitcher, with 5/6/6 current ratings and four pitches, all rated decently.

The four-month old scouting report from OSA has him as a 1/3/1 potential pitcher with 1/3/1 actual ratings and only a 1-rated fastball. The four month-old scouting report from my scout is the same. The old scouting report also has him throwing in the 80 to 83 range while the new report has him in the 95-97 range.

Let me know if you need any other info.
