A point in response --
It is realistic. An example of not realistic would be the same future HOF-er joining a level 6 league and hitting .230.
I expect it to react consistently with how it reacts to the task in producing other data. It has a HOF-calibre player in a level 6 league, and so produces data consistent with that scenario (eg 102HR (actually, this year he's slated for 124 HR)). If he is capable of generating 100+HR then he should also be generating other stats that align with the same scenario, getting IBB an equally ridiculous (but reasonable, given his production) number of times.
Did some of you swear a blood oath? A guy with a +.600 OBP plus 6 times more HR than 2nd highest HR hitter, draws a mere 9 IBB and y'all are -- ...meh, what's the big deal.
And, he had 221 RBI, around double the next guy. So he wasn't swinging away with the bases empty. The guy hitting after him had 15 HR all year. But you'd still let "Babe-Who?" Brouthers swing away with a guy on. But, if you saw that happen and he knocked it out for another 2-run HR you'd be the first to say "Why didn't they walk him?"
