Definitely scouts. Calculators fail to factor in a guy's attitude and feel for the game. On paper a guy like Jason Varitek appears to bring little to the table but his leadership and how he handles pitchers is worth its weight in gold.

Look at A-Rod. His numbers are off the charts and his teams have never won a flippin' thing. Just look at the Yankees for that matter. The best team money can buy and they still can't win a playoff series.
