HDGuru: I can understand being frustrated when you're told 'small sample size', but in a game like baseball it's true. That's why certain stats like batting average and ERA have a minimum threshold to qualify.
As of today, Miguel Cabrera has the highest qualifying BA at .364. Well, Yasiel Puig of the Dodgers is batting .440...in 109 AB. Small size.
I remember a game set in...I want to say 1970. Through April it seemed like half the league's batters went on hot streaks. Forget needing a DH: Several batters put up numbers like it was 2001. I thought they'd beat Barry Bonds' 73 HR, forget Roger Maris' 61.
They didn't. The league calmed down. Numbers were still a little high over 1970 by the end of the year, but no records fell and nothing looked unpalatable.
I'd say give it a little longer. Another thing you could do is start a separate league with the same settings you're using for this one, and just let the AI run it through a full season, then compare those total figures with that year (or in a modern campaign with 2012's figures). You can find WP stats broken down by team and totaled by subleague under (League)/Stats and Leaders/Team Stats/Team Pitching Stats
