Scout recommendations/advice

A few things I'd love to see in the future:

Would love for a more detailed scouting report. A lot of reports will read like things:

Summary: John Smith is an offensive force that pitchers fear etc etc

Contact: Below average hitter.

Some time his power and eye will make up for the bad contact skills, I just find that the current scouting reports aren't helpful.

2. Scouts advice on a current free agent or a prospect/player that might make a good trade target. Maybe a player has good tools but the team hes on doesn't have that great of a hitting coach a the coach is power focused while mine is contact focus etc. For a real life example is when the Astros got Francis Martes from the Marlins he wasn't much of a prospect, but the Astros saw something that the Marlins didn't.

3. Trading advice. Just like when asking your scout for a draft recommendation you can ask your scout of his thoughts a certain trade. Whether he thinks it will help the team win now or if hurts the team in the long term.

4. Scouts/team preference. Would love to set my teams focus on stuff like small ball players or big power guys. high contact low power or low contact but huge power. This one isn't as big of a want but it would be pretty cool.
