On Jan 1, 2009 I looked at the batting ratings

For Eye

of the 54 players who had a vs R eye rating of less than 10, they had an average vs L eye rating of 218.03

For Gap

of the 25 players who had a vs R gap rating of less than 10, they had an average vs L gap rating of 225.88

For Power

no players had vs R power less than 10, but this is accounted for by the fact that power ratings actually go up to 350!!!

What is odd is that apart from power there are no ratings of 251 to 255!!! Makes me think that possibly the roll-over is coded (or a value greater than 250 is being carried over to the next byte which is why power has the capacity for more than 250...
I think what you have seen makes complete sense to me. It likely is not seen that often in leagues because many leagues might not have a level of talent that is that high where it is a common occurance. For whatever reason my online league was started with pretty high level of ratings as the "average" talent, so we end up with a decent number of players pushing the ceiling like this. So we actually see it fairly regularly.
