The AI has a clue based on their potential ratings. Sure, the AI cannot see the statistical history that you can see in the future, but a player like Seaver or Palmer will be created with huge potential. So the AI can see that and will act on it. Just watch what happens in an initial draft, whether you use historical or fictional players. The AI will snatch up some of those young studs even though their current ratings are not very good. So the AI is not blind.
You lose a lot of realistic player development if you don't use the auto-calculation. But if you don't mind that players like Seaver and Palmer could potentially be useless in your baseball universe, and Paul Splitorff could become the next Sandy Koufax, then by all means you may want to consider that option instead.
