Now in the steroid era I am seeing 12-15 players hit 50+ HR per season.
I do agree as a general rule fictional players offensively dont put up the #'s that real players have. My HOFhas more real players then fictional and all the real players own the leaderboards. Cobb is a .409 lifetime hitter.

in the fictional leagues:
bump the LTMs. if i recall, my est. slash is .256/.319/.398 or so on the stats and ai settings screen... i see HR totals get into the 600's, but only a few players in 100 years frequency. single year totals don't require longevity, but 50 is quite difficult to hit... 60 takes luck or extreme talent over a good bit of time.
in '16, with similar stats, i saw a player get to 700. there seems to be more talent than in years past at the top of the distribution curve. i think it's gotten tougher this year for peak numbers, but i could be wrong.
bump the numbers to .405 slugging or something and you'll see really good power numbers.
