As a test, I am running a historical league beginning in 1901, 3 levels of minors (AAA, AA, A). I've just completed 1961, and my Majors stats are looking pretty good (except complete games, which are WAY low). But minors have pretty much been whacked out from the start: Pitching dominates. Averages have risen to the low-realistic range in most cases, but HR's are extremely low.

One thing I've noticed (I have selected the setting to adjust league totals modifiers for accuracy) is that the HR modifier is quite low, .221 across the board for majors and all minors. Apparently, this setting is working for Majors, but not minors.

At any rate, to stick to the specifics of this thread, if I were to use the modifiers in the League Totals Modifiers.xls attachment in the OP, would the expected result be to get somewhat realistic minors totals compared to an average for the period 1992-2008? Are these modifiers of any use for prior seasons, specifically ones way back (like 1901 thru the 1970's)?

Thanks in advance.
