Sort of on the lines of Raiders trade suggestion above, but more.
Make the computer value it's prospects more, and it needs to value the first couple picks in the draft more.
Here's a trade I managed to make:
Hatsutori, 29 year old CF 9/14/11 and my 12th and 13th draft picks for Saville, 27 year old CF 15/9/11 and their 2nd and 3rd pick. Saville had one more year of arbitration making 7 million, Hatsutori was making 12 million a year for 4 more years. This was with a team that finished 66-96 for the year, the trade was made in July.

This is a common trade for me. I easily get high draft picks from the AI, and always trade off a slightly aging or injury affected star (Hatsutori had recently dropped from 14 contact to 11) making a lot of money for a younger better at the moment star making 4+ million less, or a super prospect.
An example of the super prospect trade would be I got Salame with potential 17/20/16 plus a whole lot of high draft picks (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 2 5ths) for 25 year old rated 11/14/11, potential 12/16/14.

Too easy to fleece the AI when they value prospects as little as they do. I can't steal them for nothing, but I can get way too much in terms of draft picks and established prospects by giving up medium level stars.
