I don't know if it's possible, but the patch 2 tweaks that supposedly were going to fix roster management have made it worse in two years of sims and close scrutiny.

The AI is picking horrible starting lineups, starting lower ranked players in every category (offense and defense) where it's not even a close call. It's moving outfielders to out of position spots when both positions had solid stars that should have been in the lineup.

Fatigue and injuries are not factors because I'm talking about opening day lineups.

The draft AI is poor after the fifth round and the human team recommendation button in the draft is broken after five rounds (choosing players that are 1 out of 100 and naming the same one every round thereafter).

My measurement of the toughness of the AI is that I should not always be in first and win the World Series in the very first year of an inaugural draft and I did both times. I'm not that good.
