A 1962 Maury Wills or a young Vince Coleman is already going to be rated to where he will attempt to steal a bunch of bases with default strategy settings. If Alston or Whitey are also rated as aggressive with stealing bases (don't know if they are, but that's assumption that works for this question), wouldn't that skew things to where these players would be attempting to steal even more than in real life?
I use Whitey ball for one fictional managers in my main league and they have a 10 speed guy. He stole 54 bases. He had 76 the season before in 25 fewer games played. If you override team settings that will affect Coleman not just the mgr strategy.
