Pro-rated, he would have 601 which is down quite a bit from 715, but still 10%-15% too high.

Yeah, that's perhaps not the thing to look for here as historical txns only handle starting lineups, not substitutions. So a lot of those are likely PH opportunities or partial games. Check out his PA / AB figures for a better guide, I reckon.
EDIT, sorry - just re-read that. If those starts figures are correct then something went amiss with the save. He should only have started the exact amount of games he did IRL.
