I got a solution myself to put forward when beta-testing begins. It uses the same process you have outlined for the regular OOTP modificators that work so well. I have extensively tested this system and it works for any initial game/league setup and for any year (1871 - 2008).

I simply create the OOTP game setup modifiers based on the spring training stats for the initial year of my game. It requires that spring training is activated of course but it works beautificently. It is a sort of spring training for OOTP as it were. After spring training but before the season starts I adjust the default 1.000 OOTP modificators in game setup and all is well. Since the modifiers are based on games played by a mix of the actual players for that particular year they fit right in with the standard modifiers and produce excellent results.
