Generally the Zone Rating is considered a better barometer of how well a player is performing overall defensively (most gold gloves for perfect team leagues are usually awarded to those with the highest ZR). All defensive ratings are a bit of an analytics challenge as some can be skewed higher or lower depending on a number of factors. Brian Kenny covered this in a pretty good book on analytics called "Ahead of the Curve". Don't put too much stock in errors, however if you have a guy in the infield like at shortstop who is pretty solid in most defensive ratings (mid 90's or higher) but has an error prone rate between 60-75, I would recommend you train them to be a 3B where they won't have as many total chances coming there way as they would at SS or 2B. Granted that decision would also be based on your offensive capes as well. Same goes for LF/RF.
