Then you shop him around, and with trading on Hard/Favor Prospects, you can find a deal for an MLB starter, and sometimes an All-Star. Then the AI will cut said player in Spring Training, sending him back to the original team.

Your game settings may be different. AFAIK there is no third round of the rule 5 draft in my leagues. As for the trading exploit, by all means play it your way. An undeveloped prospect would not fetch an MLB starter and/or All Star for me. That's the beauty of this game!
