I’ve gone through the inaugural draft twice so far in ‘19 and decided to control one team. My team ended up being predicted to win 114 games both times. Needless to say I haven’t been happy with the inaugural draft results. The computer has made a lot of questionable picks
Any tips on how you guys handle it?

I start in 1901 and take whatever the MLB setup gives me, so at the beginning it's 16 teams and stays that way for quite a while. I let the AI do everything. I'm merely the commissioner/record keeper/official historian etc etc etc.
Try leaving "Use pre-defined draft value for AI" unchecked during inaugural draft/expansion draft, but checked for your ammy drafts. It's designed to help distribute the players more evenly. The reason you don't want to use it during inaugural/expansion drafts is that great players may get drafted with early picks at age 36 or whatever, and while their careers may have been great, they are likely on the downside of them. Sounds like the Inaugural Draft could use some overhauling. There may be a bug in there somewhere, so you might want to report it in the bug reports forum. AI needs to do a better job, so you don't come out of the gates with an uber-team.
