The AI needs help.
If I had to do it again, id say turn off all rating scales so that you cant see them. Turn off historical rookies to make sure you have no advantages. And give yourself about half as much budget of the league average.
The bad news is that this is not realistic at all. In real life, we have some idea of talent. I mean... when a healthy guy can bench 350 lbs out of high school, you have a clue about power even if he hit no homers in his high school career. It just means he is undeveloped or had horrendous coaching or played behind the coaches favorite (usually) or an even better player who might have been more developed. Those ratings are usually not that bad.

Two things: first, you weren't doing it right (Willie Randolph?) and second, you don't really sound like you're cut out for stats only, which is of course fine,

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.
