So Jeff Burroughs, Tony Perez, Steve Garvey, and Albert Belle will be the top super stars.
Trying to make the AI make decisions based upon ideas we now know are poor is a problem, imo, if you can't make the humans do the same. I fail to see how these changes don't inflate our current advantages.

There is some limited capacity on having the AI recognize some facets of what's discussed here (although to be honest, I haven't attempted to use it in years) - that is you can have the AI weigh value of a player, putting a certain Percentage in:
This year's stats
Last year's stats
Ratings
(and one more, I think it's 2 year's ago's stats?)
