It is not trying to hit exact leaderboards, it is trying to simulate baseball itself in a realistic way. Thus, it isn't using any cheats or adjustments to get individual players to specific numbers. Also, the AI isn't necessarily going to use players exactly how they were used in real life.
It also matters what your settings are. There are ways to optimize it for a Single Season, but other ways of making it something slightly different (i.e. you can have Ted Williams play through the war years or Sandy Koufax continue pitching like his arm wasn't shot.
If you aren't getting numbers you expect, I would recommend posting in the Historical Simulations channel along with your settings and there are plenty of forum members around that can provide advice for getting the type of simulation you are looking for.
