Defensive Ratings and Inflated BABIP

I started a season in 2009 using the default roster set and played the first season with the in-game rosters. Played with some of the league setup and during that changed the defensive ratings to be generated over a 3 year period.

The first season (2009) went fine, normal stats, etc, etc. Then, in the 2nd season, the defensive ratings for most of my players were down to 1 or 3 at positions in which they had an 15/18 during the previous season. My assumption was that by changing the rating settings to be calculated over a 3 year period, the math wasn't working correctly since I had only simmed one season. I then changed this to 1 year, but the player's defensive ratings didn't change. I then simmed a full month to see what the result would be and found the no pitcher of mine had a BABIP under .350 and one was as high as .425.

Has anyone seen this before and does anyone have idea how to fix??

Thanks.
