Six guys who've never made the bigs were drafted ahead of Mike Trout.
You're missing my point. I'm ok with having a draft bust. It would suck, but at least that's realistic. I would like to see this:
1. All owners would see who has declared for the Amateur draft
2. Your scouting budget should give you a current value (because scouts tell you what type of player this is)
3. Your scouting budget should give you a projected value. The 'fuzziness' is directly correlated to your scouting budget. Like I said, add a "scouting director" on our staffs. Their competencies (like coaches) have an effect on the overall effectiveness of our CS, HS and IFA scouting projections and current values.
Will you get a dud every once in a while. Yes. But, you'll know that there is a draft-able player. Not this, 'player wasn't scouted well enough' crap.
