I play 2-8 and place heavy reliance on stats. Marcus has said that in OOTP an average MLB level player will be 4 across the board. That being the mid point on the bell curve for talent distribution. He has said in another post he realises that 6, (on the 2-8) is an MLB level player IRL. Maybe the AI is still looking for those "6" guys that are unprotected?

Take this in the spirit it's intended, not being critical, just offering my own opinion, right or wrong. The changes in the AI that may result in this 'new' behavior simply mean the AI may have gotten a little smarter. What with having to have open slots in the 40-man, knowing the player will be on the Active Roster for the season, and having available talent that merits that addition, there's no reason to believe- under average circumstances -that many picks would be made, if at all. In addition, AI may be protecting its own typically eligible players better than it used to, resulting in the 40-man being filled by utilizing that protection, so to speak.
