Actually looking back, I think the CPU strategies may have been spot-on. I drafted Willie McCovey instead of a SP in the first round and for those first few seasons I was genuinely miserable with my lack of a true ace.

In the older versions it seemed like there was a bigger spread of position players taken in the first round (especially the future HOFers), but the way the game is now those SPs are absolutely indispensible. Despite throwing enormous amounts of money at free agent SPs as they became available it was only once I was able to score a top 5 draft pick in June that I really managed to land some pitching and get my team out of the cellar of my division.
