Inflated defensive stats/ WAR for 2B
Just started a new season in a historic league, and all of the defensive stats for second basemen throughout the league are heavily inflated (and thus skewing the WAR calculations). The top twenty players in the league by Zone Rating are second basemen, and several of them are at +10 runs just four games into the year, with Johnny Evers at +17 runs through 4 games -- the equivalent of more than four runs per game. This seems... excessive.
I don't think I have downloaded the most recent update, but I haven't seen any indication that it addressed this issue. Below is the sorted list of all players leaguewide based on Zone Rating.
