Spritze, I've noticed that there seems to have been a (somewhat massive) downgrade in the pre-defined draft values for position players which means that some very good position players are falling much further in the amateur draft than they did in previous versions. For example:
Johnny Evers (OOTP18 pre-defined draft value): 1784, (OOTP19 pre-defined draft value): 598
Joe Tinker (OOTP18 pre-defined draft value): 1806, (OOTP19 pre-defined draft value): 353
As you can see, that's quite the dropoff. If this was a directive from the powers that be, there's probably not much that can be done, but this does make it easier for the human player to pick off some really good position players lower down in the draft. I believe pitchers have also had their pre-defined draft values upgraded somewhat (not nearly to the extent that position players have had theirs downgraded), which complicates the problem a little further. For example:
George Mullin (OOTP18 pre-defined draft value): 1958, (OOTP19 pre-defined draft value): 2331
Addie Joss (OOTP18 pre-defined draft value): 1102, (OOTP19 pre-defined draft value): 1587
I'm sure I could find many more examples, but these are just four from the 1901 draft (players that debuted in 1902 in MLB).
