A couple questions about the tryout camps.

First, do new players get added to the tryout camp list all the time? Or does the pool of players stay the same all season once it is created?

Second, does every team see the same list of players? Or is the list unique to my team?

Third, which scouting budget affects the ratings that I see? High school/ college/ advance, etc?

Finally, has anyone ever gotten a good player from the tryout camp? From what I've seen, they all look like they'd top out at High A ball. Feel free to share any examples of tryout camp guys who became Major Leaguers.

The pool stays the same unless it gets completely emptied; then a whole new pool appears.

Every team sees the same list.

ADV affects their projections.  Current ratings, like all other players, are always correct.

They're not supposed to be good.  Even the ones I've signed that have gotten DitR boost have topped out at AAA.

Thanks, dedelman, that was very helpful. So far I've just been using them to replace injured A ball players. It sounds like that's all they'll ever be good for.

Exactly.  They're just meant to be warm bodies to fill out minor league rosters.
