I mean, it makes complete sense if it were a fictional league, thus making everybody closer in HR power, but he's importing real players who should have ratings reflective of the disparity already, right?

Rasnell...are any or a lot of those players I listed not in the league from CEI or early retirement by any chance?
You're assumption is right MadMax. Everything is normal with their health and historical ratings. The game is just all over the board each year trying to swing the historical modifiers back into line. You hardly get any of the big guns into the 30-hr neighborhood during an incredible power era of the early 1930s.

To me, the easiest override would be to turn off the historical modifiers and simply add about 15-20 percent higher league modifiers manually for home runs. But that seems to defeat the whole point of having default settings and of clicking the historical modifier button to synch this every year.
