I disagree let me explain why...

The other teams are drafting the players they think are the best, which is usually hitting prospects, but also sometimes they do take pitchers early. Pitching is the hardest part of a team to be consistently great at, so my theory is to draft more of them so I can have more to choose from in spring training, minors, etc.

Down the road when I weed them out and trade the ones I don't want I am not "cheating" the AI into a bad trade. These guys are still great pitching prospects that will most likely have solid big league careers... just not with my team where the expectations of pitchers is always much higher than other clubs. In fact it is doing the guys a big favor. They get a shot in the bigs instead of my AA team.

I see this as a team with pitching as their top priority from the ground up so there is obviously more interest in the pitchers each draft day.
