Prove it by taking a quickstart league and running a few years. Then restart a new league with the same quickstart league, but multiply all the league totals by 2, and run a few years. I expect fully that, despite the fact that your totals increased by 2, your actual performance in the two leagues will be very similar.
Would it be correct in saying then that each league total is taken as a percentage of the # of at bats inputted? Would this be the "rate"? For example, if I dropped the number of at bats in the league but kept everything else the same, would we see skyrocketing statistics?

Also, like the other #'s instead of modifiers, is the relationship of at bats inverse? So if I dropped AB's would we actually see more at bats?
