Baseball America Past Scouting Reports - 2003 Award Winners (December 23, 2003)
How about a scouting report from the Billy Beane's of the world? Those #1 guys who just kept getting worse and worse reports. What I would like from Baseball America is "The E! True Louisville Story - [fill in name]". Now, THAT would be fun to read, in the perverse sense that we all slow down to look at that traffic accident.

I would find these a lot more entertaining if they contrasted them with other players who got equally positive reports but flopped.

If you read all of BA's scouting reports, they tend to be positive and optimistic, especialy for any decent (grade A or B) prospect. It is no surprise that almost any successful ML'er will have a nice sounding scouting report.
Yes, it would be much more interesting to look at the scouting reports of major league flops...
