DennisS- You made my point without even realizing it.
There is very little first class talent in each draft. The hitting talent will almost always be drafted before the pitching talent. As I said earlier the human player can swallow up all of the great young pitching prospects while the AI is busy sifting through the draft looking for hitters which they will be doing throughout the first 3 rounds. Unless you are drafting in the first half of round one IGNORE BATTERS. The key is to draft all of the pitchers you can so that you will always have a plethora of great young arms in your system. These guys are invaluable to your pitching staff and invaluable to the other teams' as well. This is a win win proposition for the human player and the smart one TAKES IT EVERY TIME.
