I'm running a league with historical players, full minors, with fictional players set to AAA abilities (modifiers of .8 times the historical number). Even though those players are pretty good in relation to yours, the computer manager will generally get it right in the end. Remember that its scouting is imperfect. By the time you're through spring training, my guess is that all but the most putrid of the real players will be on the major league roster. Of course, only a human is stupid enough to run a 2006 Jose Lima out there every fifth day, and you'll find other examples. But by and large, the game gets it right eventually.
