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.

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

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