When playing out stuff, IRL stats don't mean anything. It doesn't matter if a player hit .400 in a season, if his in-game contact is a 35, he's not going to play well in your league.
Now, how that can happen will depend a lot more on how the league is set up. If you're using a recalc, the guy who hit .400 likely won't have a 35 contact rating. But if your league uses the development engine, it's possible that basically in your universe, the player just never developed.
I would guess if the players are that different, even accounting for era, then this is a league that does not use recalc. In that event, you can basically treat it like a fictional universe, and the name "Babe Ruth" is basically only used to set their initial ratings when he first shows up.
