Fun stuff, there's a database of old scouting reports at http://scouts.baseballhall.org/

Here's 3 on Derek Jeter, Manny Ramirez and Tony Gwynn.

"Looks good so far, this Jeter kid, but I don't see a summation of his bu-, oh wait there it is. HI BUTT. Great. Yeah, that's settled. Let's draft this guy."

It's important to recognize a player's strengths.

Gwynn only got a 6 FUT hit tool.. That Astros scout was brutal.

WITH GOOD FACE

I mean I know the common meme is to have the SABR guys laugh at the "HES GOT A GOOD BASEBALL FACE" but jesus christ this guy is falling over himself to let the Yankees know that a) Jeter has a good butt and b) you get excited watching him warm up.

I'm curious to know how many games he watched him.

Another issue with JUST using human scouting is not only the chance for human error but most damning really, the fact that humans are inherently lazy.

I remember the Astros were obsessed with acquiring Rafael Landestoy. Probably not the best scouting department.
