This is a great thread, however, what about fielding?

In 1901 all teams fielding average ranged between .926-.954, however, with OOTP 2006 1901 simmed average is .983. Because of this, there are more earned runs in the OOTP league affecting ERA.

See comparison:

1901 Historical 1901 Simmed
Runs: 11,068 10,288
Earned Runs: 7,569 9,147
ERA: 3.49 4.12
Errors: 5,307 1,563

What are your recommendations to correct this glaring difference? I have thought about modifying fielding ratings of all players, but I prefer an easier solution.
