I feel like my ideal numbers are a ERA around 4.25 and a BA of .250 or just slightly higher. Are those similar to what they were in 1984? I know you love that year for baseball stats, you bring it up a lot haha.

1984's R/G is around 4.25 (4.26), and the ERA is 3.81 with a slash line of .260/.323/.385/.708. Since I figured out the BABIP trick, and using the DH as it was used in 1984 (One league with it, one league without it), my league numbers are really, really good, which is awesome.
I'm gonna take a look, and see if I can find a year that comes close to the numbers you're talking about, and post in here if I find one. .250 or slightly higher with a 4.25 ERA is going to be a real challenge because that's a lot of runs for such a low batting average, but I'm sure I'll come up with something close to it, and I'll post it back in here when I do. It feels like it's going to be more of a modern season, but we'll see what happens.
