are opposing GM's stupid?

im playing with player development engine on and starting in 2005 and managed to snag jose bautista, carl crawford and adrian beltre for older players with bad contracts. basically, i deleted mass contracts and got young players who are sweet.

whats the deal? are they stupid?

In 2005 jose bautista is a bum so it shouldn't take much to get him.
The AI has no idea of the future so you can trade for players that get better because you know they will. So no the GM's aren't stupid they just don't have the ability to tell the future.

plus playing with devolpment means that jose bautista might not be every any good so it might turn out your not as smart as you think.
You trade for guys that are good in our future but with devolpment that future can change so don't feel to smart just yet>

what exactly is player development feature in OOTP?

does that mean if i draft mat kemp in the 06 draft he could turn out to be a piece of trash for me?
