I generally advise people to leave the totals alone unless they've developed an expertise on the topic and, for some reason, don't like or don't want the game to use the existing numbers.

I don't mess with league modifiers but have always wondered about this, so I'll ask here: In a season where a player or two (think Ruth in the early 1920's?) accounted for a significant percentage of the league-wide HR's, if that player or two were to get an SEI or CEI early in the season, would the game still "work behind the scenes to ensure accuracy in league-wide totals," thus perhaps overinflating HR totals of other players? Just wondering...
