Minor league stats in 1870s WAY off

I have 8 team ML league beginning in 1871 with AAA, AA, A, R, C, and HS. (edit: it's a fictional league.) Using defaults for league totals/modifiers along with having "Automatically adjust league total modifiers after each season for historical accuracy" for all league levels.

In 1871 and 1872 ML and minor league stats were appropriate given the era.

Then starting in 1873: my ML totals are not too far away from the totals of the National Association in the 1870s and HS numbers also seem reasonable.

But AAA, AA, A, and Rookie league totals are WAY off: league-wide BAs are in the low- to mid-.100 and Ks are huge. For instance, eight pitchers in the rookie league averaged over 20ks per 9 innings. I've got prospects hitting in the .070 range in the minors and some are not very happy about this. ;> The problem continued in 1874.

Is anyone else running minor leagues in the 1870s having the same problem?
