Isn't there a known issue with player ratings being too high across the board in the initial player creation for fictional leagues? Subsequent players are supposedly not created with ratings as high.

That could be why you're noticing elevated fielding ratings at certain positions. If I'm not mistaken, there are some folks who work around this by simming a few seasons and then deleting everyone and creating a new player pool. But I'm not sure if I'm remembering all of this correctly.
