In general, I like having good pitchers with ERAs in the 3.00s and in good years in the 2.00s, having a league leader or two maybe under 2.00. Don't like staffs with a lot of people above 5.00 but can live with 4.00 as sort of normal for average pitchers.
I like league leaders to hit say, .320 - .370 most of the time, and if an outlyer year sees a .390-or even .400+ season great, it's exciting but I don't want it to be common.
Similarly, I want HR leaders to hit in the 40s with 50 happening sometimes, but not too often. I want 20 homers to mean a power hitter who had a decent year. But with 1978 or 1976, I found league leaders had hit 20 something. Too boring on the other end.
And base stealers - I don't want 100 steals a season to be a typical thing. But if it happens in a record or career year great, but it should be a Tim Raines or Rickey or Coleman or Wills or Brock. I don't want Alfonso Soriano to steal 125 bases.
