okay, i would make use of commissioner mode and the information given in the player profile editor.

you will need to understand the difference between your league (league totals, league modifiers etc) and a "Modern MLB Environment" predicted statistics in order to answer this question. each league could be different.

How:
make a player a completely average hitter (use 99/200 in editor. it should result in 5/10 or 50/80 or 50/100 etc) and see what the slash is for a modern MLB in the editor... this will give you a way to compare your league to the editor's guesstimation of results. i'm assuming you have an idea of what your stat output to fluctuate around, so you should know what "average" is in your new league already. (slash line in game on Stats and AI page will help too)

An Example and the reverse:

if you see that slugging is lower in your league when compared to the average mlb modern player from editor, you will need additional power to reach the same # of home runs (amongst other power #s of course - depends on ratios of various types of hits, i'd guess... have fun) given in the editor for the ratings you have given the newly created player.

if slugging is higher in your league, then you will need less power to hit the same # of home runs that the editor guesstimate gives for modern mlb environment.


i have a league with static ltm that results in a long term average slash of .256/.319/.399... my players average about 3-5% less power (slugging results of individuals in comparison to editor predictions) than the modern mlb environment in the player profile editor resulting stats. i can't give a smaller range because i've never tried to figure it out with precision... i just know with that slash above, sim results are consistently lower than the profile editor prediction. that should be useful info for comparison.

i think that "modern mlb environment" expects 4900 home runs, which when you exclude steroid years has happend or nearly happened 1 time in the history of the MLB. if i am right, i blame the lack of sophistication of the buyers, not the people that chose that ridiculous value, lol. as we all know, "chicks dig the long-ball."
