OK, I hope this works. Here's my modified file:

It's a work in progress. If you look closely you'll see that I occasionally bump up the pitching modifiers. I haven't focused much on pitchers yet. Eventually I'll probably do the same thing for them as I do for hitters. For now, this seems to work OK since in the early days of baseball not there weren't that many pitchers needed or created. I tried this for hitters and got too many good ones.
So. I have Scouting Discoveries set for default (3 per team per year). I usually have my enhanced modifiers in effect for 3 or 4 months so that should result in about 12-16 players. Out of those I seem to get 3 or 4 good ones (HOFers) each time. Here's what I used:
1896 for 4 months (Nap Lajoie? Honus Wagner?)
Contact: .920
Gap: .920
Power .120
Eye .978
Avoid K's 2.800
Speed: 5.800
Fielding: 1.41
I got 3 HOFers out of this batch, but no one as good as Lajoie or Wagner
1904 for 4 months (Ty Cobb? Eddie Collins? Tris Speaker?)
Contact: 1.050
Gap: .973
Power .131
Eye 1.120
Avoid K's 2.800
Speed 5.700
Fielding 1.330
I got two HOFers out of this batch. I had one intriguing player (Boileryard Cryer) who had a blazingly good seven-year peak, but fell off dramatically and ended up well short of Cobb in career statistics. But that peak was exciting.
1915 for 3 months (Babe Ruth? Rogers Hornsby?)
Contact: .950
Gap: 1.120
Power .570
Eye 1.780
Avoid K's 2.400
Speed 2.800
Fielding 1.140
The players for this batch are just finishing their careers. I'll likely have 3 HOFers but no one even close to Ruth. The two best of them will end up somewhere in the 300s for total HRs.
1922 for 4 months (Lou Gehrig? Jimmie Foxx?)
Contact: 1.050
Gap: 1.300
Power .700
Eye: 1.360
Avoid K's 2.400
Speed 2.2700
Fieldng 1.120
These players are now in mid-career and it looks like I'll get 3 or 4 HOFers out of this group. But there is one player, Gene Newhart, who might exceed Babe Ruth. He's only 30 and has had a spectacular career so far. He already has over 500 HR's, his career BA is .379 and he's got a Ruthian career 210 wRC+. His highest home run total is 56, but he's hit over 50 6 times.
1936 for 3 months (Ted Williams?)
This is my final batch, by the 1940's the game seems to do fine on it's own. These players are out there but I don't know who any of them are yet.
Contact: 1.370
Gap: 1.400
Power 1.100
Eye 1.960
Avoid K's: 2.230
Speed: 1.400
Fielding: 1.040
