What thou art attempting may not work too well as the historical HR modifier will quickly grow to numbers so large there is no name for them. So expect to do a lot of that "working the stats modifers" stuff as you progress.

Other players have attempted what you are trying to do and have failed miserably. The challenge seems to be in the way the batter and pitcher ratings and modifiers interact as I disremember. Last summer I tried to help a couple of other players with this same problem but we were unsuccessful in the end. Starters had ERA's in the ones and relievers had ERA's in the 10's. Oddly one of the things we tried was moving the starters with the 1 ERAs to the bullpen where they instantly became just as sucky as anyone else.

What worked best was to make sure the bullpen pitchers have 3 pitches in their repertoire. Doesn't help all that much but it was the best option.

Other than the HR's the rest of what you are attempting worked pretty well.
