Defense is super important and the defensive rating doesn't tell the whole story. A player could be perfectly suited for a given position but have a zero rating just from lack of experience. For example I moved Lorenzo Cain to LF on my team where he started with zero rating. But he is actually a perfect left fielder based on range, error & arm ratings. Once he was trained up his LF rating was like 98 or something.
For my 2nd team, I let it play through the entry pool and at the end of the week, I used all the earned PP to buy packs. I ended up between the starter packs and extra packs with an outfield of FL Robles, live Acuna and 04 Ichiro. So I built the park with 1.5 for doubles and triples and 0.9 for HR and have added all fly ball pitchers. I still have the same outfield and am now at diamond level, although they are starting to show signs of weakness.

I will say that the record breaker Carew (82 OVR) is awesome in that park. Also, George Kell has hit 63-84 doubles a season for me.
