In our online league, the predominately unsuccessful teams are sporting the best fielding percentage. OTOH, the best teams seem to be stinking up the diamond with their defense.

The bad teams:

The White Sox are 5-18, but have a fielding percentage of .992

The Royals (my team) are 9-16, but also have a fielding percentage of .992

The Rangers are 7-18, but have a fielding percentage of .991

The first place teams:

The Blue Jays are 21-2, but have a fielding percentage of .979

The Twins are 18-8, but have a fielding percentage of .977

The Phillies are 18-7, but have a fielding percentage of .984

The Athletics are 18-7, but have a fielding percentage of .980

Is this too much of a coincidence, or is something going on here? Is anyone else seeing this in their leagues? Should I start seeking players with horrible fielding percentages?
