Does the AI know about ballpark factors?

Does anyone know if the AI is aware of ballpark factors when making draft picks, trades, or lineups? For example, if the AI plays in a pitchers park, do they put an emphasis on pitching (from draft picks to coaches)? If they have a short portch in right, do they try and get a lefty with power?

If not, I'm thinking I may set up my next fictional universe where all the ballparks have the same dimensions and factors. It seems it would be an unfair advantage for the human player if the AI wasn't able to use the information.

Markus may be the only person who can answer that one.

I have a feeling the answer is no, though I would be pleasantly surprised if I am wrong.
