The team stat rankings are by subleague, right? So 15th in Defensive efficiency would be dead last in whichever league. This is bad. Part of the reason my Astros pitchers are pretty consistently good is because I have Gold Glove caliber defenders at multiple positions (LF, RF, 3B, and SS off the top of my head), and the others are above-average at least.
That plus a tendency toward groundballers tends to give me success. Got to tailor your defense to your staff. Have a lot of groundballers? Load up on IF defense. Flyballers? Outfield range/error guys. You can't just grab a bunch of high-rated guys and plug them in. You've got to think about how they'll fit into whatever else you have, and how your D will influence their results.
