Long story short, ignore the modifiers. Focus on the league wide stats results you get, when you check them out, at the end of the year. If they're reasonably close, then you know the modifiers did their job, regardless of how crazy they look.
Here are my league totals from 1907 (remember, they should resemble the actual 1984 MLB totals, because that's the year my stats output is based on), in my latest Random Debut Historical. I play 162 games every season, too. Back then, there were only 16 teams, which differs from the RL number of 26 in 1984, so I'll average them out per team. My game vs RL (1984):
6215 PA (6176)
5586 AB (5532)
686 R (689)
1428 H (1438)
239 2B (239)
39 3B (38)
124 HR (125)
650 RBI (645)
504 BB (512)
890 K (865)
23 HBP (26)
46 SH (55)
54 SF (49)
113 SB (117)
52 CS (58)
.256/.317/.379/.696 (.260/.323/.385/.708)
4.23 R/G (4.26)
3.77 ERA (3.81)
38 SV (38)
1458.0 IP (1450)
610 ER (613)
43 WP (43)
12 BK (11)
22 CG (24)
10 SHO (10)
.282 BABIP (.286)
13122 DefInn (13051)
6148 TC (6250)
4374 PO (4351)
1649 A (1763)
134 DP (150)
125 E (136)
.980 FPct (.978)
.700 DEF (Defensive Efficiency) (.699)
That's pretty damn good, right there. Allows room for variance, due to pitching or batting being stronger in certain years, but I don't think you can ask for much more than that. There is a method to the madness of those crazy looking LTMs, so ignore them, and look at your year over year league totals that the modifiers are guiding your game to. Don't try to make sense of them. Let them do their job.
