Mathews and Logan have fielding percentages in the .910s, and O'Connell is in the .960s. This seems low to me. Is this something that playing games out causes or is it just a case of early season bad luck?
Sample size is likely the problem. Play 50-60 games.

Check total errors in team stats then pro rate by dividing GP at the end of season (should be 2474) by actual GP at the time you check. Errors in MLB for 1954 were 2274@0.976 fielding %
