I mean, if you raised the AB's in the League Totals with the same percentage increase in all other stats, would you expect to see hitters getting more AB's?
No. It would just 'dillute' the numbers. I always thought that was there if you ever cut out or added teams in your league and no had more or less players playing.

So you have the league total set to 20000 AB. You have HR set to 1000. You then leave the AB alone and set the HR to 1500.
How does this not increase the chance of a HR per AB?
