crazy winning streak!

started a new league w/ a fantasy draft. I always start them up, play 2 months then decide i've made it too easy, but this time I thought it was balanced. I made no pick for the first 5 rounds then started from there; drafted 200 rounds, fixed budget, focus on youth, pitching and farm system. So, it's May, and I checked my minors, and my class A team is 34-0. Holy crap!!! ever seen a record like that?

I draft youth early and vets late. My farm system has 400 pts; next best is like 120. I know the top 100 players and drafting based on potential ratings is flawed, but can it be that flawed? is it just the way I'm looking at it, or is the AI horrible at drafting? For the draft, I use very high scout accuracy so no team gets an unfair advantage; or so I thought

Does "draft youth early" equate to "draft all the best minor league prospects early"? If so, it's not surprising that your farm clubs are unbeatable, but how is your major league team doing?
