The only thing FIP kind of leaves out is balls that were un-fieldable, e.g. a pitcher's pitches being smacked all over the park at high velocities except over the wall...that even Ozzie Smith & Andruw Jones don't glove...
But in my experience all in all, the defensive ratings are important. Just slightly tricky since there are pitchers that barely need a defense from time to time. & there are pitchers who would give up 1,2,3 runs with a stellar defense that might get hammered with no defense behind them...
It's sort of like figuring out the offensive statistics...The players have enough different attributes that sometimes all you can do is put out the best team possible within your means & watch baseball play out like baseball.
But then again, the people playing OOTP have even more varying attributes, so I'm not sure I know what to say to you not knowing YOUR tendencies.
Except have fun fielding your perfect team for the season, the playoffs or each game.
