Listen...i can set here and tell you things like, Brandon May likes to lead off most right handed hitters with a low and away fastball, or Braxton lafferty struggles with low and away changeups, but the bottom line is, you dont know until you see it. i suppose with your logic you are saying that if you had the scouting report on greg maddux that you could lace a double off the wall in your first at bat against him, or you could strike out barry bonds by reading that he cant hit a high curve ball. you just dont know until you see it...thats just the way it is...

Baseball is a game of inches, and when two teams are pretty equal as far as talent goes, then the little extra information pushes one team over the hump and gives them that slight edge they need.
