If you let the game do your draft for you, you will get a good team. If you want to set up the draft yourself the following are a few good players to look for that the CPU does not immediately sign.

John Smoltz
Justin Verlander
Richie Sexon
Stephen Drew
Troy Tuliowitizki
Eric Chavez
Mark Teahen
Brad Penny
Mark Redman
Jason Jennings
Adam Kennedy

Note: John Smoltz is a starter. Being that he was a closer he has had better luck as a starter.
