Nope.  

Hokay then.

TJ:
I think I have the same thought (or something close to) as llama.  I think likely you are a good manager and build efficient (or synergistic) line-ups.

Here are the reults from my latest league.  There seems to be some correlation with R/RC and win pct.  The average, by the way, is 99.9%.

Is there enough variation to be significant?  I don't know the math well enough.  I also don't know if I used the right vocabulary.

The correlation coefficient was .31 which by itself is not significant at least not with the limited data.  (Statistically one looks for an R^2 value of .9; practically this is more like 0.7.)  However, without being able to adjust for other factors: drafting, managing, pitcher to defense matching, this is pretty much what I expected.

Keep in mind no one has ever claimed that LuE is the only way to win in the sim.  Many of us have said it was important and thus far the evidence back it up.  If you and Boog are correct and honest about your team's 110% LuE, and the average is around 100%, that extra 10% is quite significant: on average 81 runs per season or ~$4million player.  However, this pales in comparsion to the surplus value of a smart draft.  '08 Addie Joss is priced ~$2M too low; '08 Brown is ~$1M too low and Gary Carter, everbody's favorite cookie catcher offers over $1M in surplus value.  So just those three cookies offer more surplus as the best owners can create by creating remarkably efficient line-ups.  I haven't finalized the math yet, but my data so far suggests that matching pitching to defense is worth $2M to $4M.  

Mine are usually around 103-108...I have one over 110%.   

My teams seem to be around 105%.  Best team I have found in my leagues thus far is 111%.  The orrelation coefficient seems to be pretty constant across my leagues.

Would anyone care to share their league spreadsheets?

My other team is 140%. I don't know if that league would interest you in looking at. The reason its so high in this case, is I didn't buy any slugging, which is pretty useless in games where guys are reaching base 70% of the time.

and your team wasn't any good at scoring runs in that league.   You were 7th our of 12 in runs scored.

Incorrect. Everybody ahead of me played in hitters parks. My "A" team was the leagues best. I think I had a 64% win percentage against other hitting teams, and had the second best exp win%.

just keep adding caveats to make yourself feel better

Boog, I don't think the EGGNOGGIN' league is a valid data set for this discussion.  The more extreme you offense, the more likely you will be to exceed R/RC.  That is already known in real-world baseball.
