These are 2 of the main reasons why in my first 6 years of the Blue Jays, I have made the World Series 4 times, won it 3 times and made the playoffs 5 consecutive years.
I was talkign to someone in the forums before and he had mentioned making some house rules when playing so the AI isn't completely beatable, well if the Rule 5 draft is not something that is going to get fixed through a patch or can be fixed through some setting changes in the game, I am going to have to assume that is a house rule for alot of people (not selecting anyone over 2 stars in the rule 5 draft or something like that for example). I picked up the AL Batting title winner of the last 2 years in the Rule 5 draft and the Cy Young winner of last year (pretty unfair).
I hope a patch comes to fix the rule 5 draft so this is not so easily abused, but otherwise I think I should just stop using it. Thoughts?

You need to manipulate the settings in order to get the challenge you need for your playing experience.
For instance I play with Very hard & Heavily favor prospects and I can't offer nothing but fair trades that help both parties. (at the time of the trade, with my TCR setting the trade could be very lopsided 10 years later)
Rule 5 draft seems to not work in the game (AI drafting players consistently each draft) unless you opt for the game to rate players NOT by positions. Basing OVR by positions somehow handicaps the Rule 5 draft for the AI. (maybe this should be log as a bug?)
I play with 200 TCR (Talent Change Randomness) which force me to think twice about giving up ton of "poor rated prospect" to the AI for a steal or giving up contributing players on my team for a hot prospect. Adds more decision making and strategy not to mention a more realistic drafting outcome.
I play with AI eval on and set my percentages to 25% to all. I feel in my eyes that this setting made the AI roster managing smarter for the type of game I am looking for.
I also play with High injuries so that adds another layer of difficulty.
So its all about how you play and set up the game. I wouldn't rely much on default settings.
P.S.
I don't play historical so I do not know what settings are available to you there.
