I don't get this complaint at all.

We should want to play against the strongest AI possible. Baseball is an extremely complicated game to program AI for. As it is, OOTP's CPU is nowhere close to perfect, but it's still one of the best out there. Why would you want to add another layer of complexity to AI decision making? A layer that would inevitably lead to a noticeably weaker AI, while not really changing your experience or decision making one bit.

But I guess if this really bothers you, and it is on this hill your willing to deny yourself an amazing baseball sim, well, that's your business, I guess. Enjoy not playing an absolutely gorgeous and sophisticated baseball simulation.
