The same type of scout might not even see your players the same way.That's true, but I'm pretty sure I've deciphered what Fowler's attributes were, so it wouldn't take more than 1 or 2. I just need the same type of scout, as I've built my minor leagues around it. It's genuinely off putting seeing something different.
@Travis7401 seems to have ignored my solidarity request.....
@Travis7401 - Say the manual is correct and tools focussed scouts can find more superstars (but probably miss a lot more), then don't I have a point? I mean there's obviously a difference in the focus of scouts and how they perform as Ed Fowler wouldn't have love Cairos so much. It has to be a part of the game or they wouldn't have written it in.

Just take Fred Smith and get on with it.
A Scouting Director that favors ability will base players' potential ratings on what the player can already do and project what he thinks the player will become in the future.
The director that favors tools will base the players' potential ratings on the maximum peak the player could achieve. In theory, a scout that favors tools will find more superstars, while a scout that favors ability will find more serviceable major league players.
1. All of our scouts are LEGENDARY overall ability. Depending on your scouting budget, they will either have LEGENDARY or EXCELLENT ratings in each area (ie Since I have $0 in minor/interantional scouting his ability in those areas is only excellent? )
2. Douglass Tagg HIGHLY FAVORS TOOLS and hates Cairos. My guess is your previous scout was the opposite and highly favored ability, which is why he was blowing smoke up ur ass about so many people having WBL ability, whereas Douglass HATES most people way more than OSA and only likes a few.? I honestly don't know how that shit comes into play since we have MAXED OUT SCOUTS. It would be different if we all had to actually hire/pay scouts like they do in some leagues.

Da fuq are you even talking about?I don't agree. Obviously, I can't test it, but I reckon the projection focus is the main determining factor in the way scouts see prospects, and those with similar projection will see things similarly.
@Travis7401 loves the ability based scouting method as it's clearly based on stats -
I literally see the game in a different way to Travis, as I always believed that there is another method programmed in and according to the manual, I believe this to be true -
I reckon tools focussed scouts pick up prospects not based purely on stats, such as some would in real life. There's probably more misses, but it's a different way to approach the game.
I always get dismissed in the usual patronising fashion, so I'm well prepared for that, but at the same time, don't treat me like a fool for seeing things differently when my theories are written in the manual.
Any new scout we hire for you can be adjusted to make his ratings match the old one. That's usually what we have to do for LEGENDS who aren't actually good at scouting. So if you need Jim Unknown to Highly Favor Tools we can make it happen
Da fuq are you even talking about?
Sure, but the problem all comes back to the fact that none of them are going to unearth Cairos because he's a BUM!
Oh dear god, 20 is uglier than 19!
We dont have all maxed out scouts. I think everyone starts at 150/200 or so on each rating and things develop from there. My scout has no LEDENDARY ratings as of now, but Music Man was all LEGENDARY when he retired.1. All of our scouts are LEGENDARY overall ability.

So it sounds like Hayvis should feel lucky about his scout who has LEGENDARY amateur ratings!
So does your new scout.

We'd need more specifics on what Fowler thought of Cairos to make anything like that happen.
It’s designed for 5 minutes a day. What you do beyond that is on youNo-one baseball illiterate could half play this fucking game without throwing themselves into obsession. It is designed for baseball spergs, and I'm managing to almost keep up now, from a base where I knew absolutely NOTHING.
All I’m saying is I believe there is a degree of randomness with scouting as well. One other scout in our league had to be similar to Fowler and I didn’t see any one rating Cairos as a stud. But that said, you’ve given me little to work from other than “Fowler liked him.”
Wait. Did I come up last this season? How about doh? Five minutes a day is a league wide rule. Did you miss that?Wat? I could do 5 minutes a day, come last and give up like @chibob.... What's ur point?

@hayvis i was expecting something more extreme. +/- 5 points in some categories doesn’t seem like enough to worry about. Scouts with both favor tools and favor ability have similar reports on cairos to Fowler.
Just to recap, all of this was about a difference of +5 contact/gap and -5 eye for a player who could never hit in college and won't come close to potential regardless!
