I think there should be a solid group of 4-5 star potentials, blue-chippers, that are available, especially in the first round, and not just middle relievers.
Aren't there modifiers to alter the amateur-draft player creation?

Not at home to look at X to see if there is anything new. But there weren't modifiers to alter the draft. If you wanted more talent in the draft you would want make it create for many more rounds than you need.
But JWay is right, there aren't as many "blue-chip" type players in a major league draft. In the NFL you expect to get a starter in the third round. But, in the majors anything beyond the first round is a bonus.
Here's a link to a third round on a baseball reference page. i picked that one at random but you can search, you're not gonna' find a lot of star players in the third round. You might find one or two in a given year that even were starters for a couple of seasons in the bigs. And most never make it to the majors.
