On a whole, "out of the box," do the league ERAs/Avgs/HRs, etc., seem reasonable? If one was to start a historical career, do the numbers reflect the era, or is there some sort of file we have to manipulate for hours (like in OOTP) to get the era setting down right?

I know some of these aren't questions you can answer at this point, but they are questions I'm interested in hearing answers to, as they will probably determine whether I give this game a try. I lost interest in OOTP last year, most likely because setting up my leagues was too hard, and I got sick of having to run multiple tests to make sure the "deadball" era simmed properly. Too much work.
I'm creating an export with the stats of every player in the current season, so you can take a look more carefully. I'm posting overall league totals right now, because I want to get rid of players with <200 AB's, for better sorting when looking at BB/K ratio players. Here are the totals (for both leagues, combined)

AB: 171412
H: 45153
2B: 7795
3B: 899
HR: 5332
RBI: 21955
R: 22552
K: 32450
BB: 16069
SF: 760
AVG: .263
OBP: .327
SLG: .413
SB: 2100
CS: 837
