Juan Gonzalez won the MVP award in 1998 a -2 Rtot and 1996 with a -11 Rtot
Edwin Encarnacion is an AWFUL fielder and has finished just outside the top ten in MVP twice and been an all-star three times
Jason Giambi was considered one of the better hitters of his day, won an MVP award, and played AWFUL defense
Mike Piazza has the 7th best Catching WAR of all time despite having the second worst dWAR of all time
In other words, fielding shouldn't be worth nearly as much as hitting.
Maybe a 5 point swing or so, but that's it.
