That's also why you may see some highly rated SS whose batting just doesn't look impressive at all.
I primarily rank players based on batting ability, and I don't worry as much about speed and defense, so I'll often prefer lower overall rated players. I can get a lot of good free agency deals because of this.

Actually, I believe it rates by position. So for example a as with good defense and low hitting is more valuable. A RF is weighted more towards hitting ability. A 2b is probably a combination of the two. Defense is weighted far more heavily with catchers etc..
