Especially in the higher level PT leagues, most of the owners focus on having a strong defense. Your D is probably good in a league of solid fielders. Look at your FIP compared to your Runs Allowed per game and ERA. An FIP that is higher than your team ERA and Runs Allowed is a good indicator of the strength of your defense. As example, I focused on my defensive team and have given up 3.69 R/G (3.58 ERA) while my FIP is 4.22. By my FIP, my team should be on pace for 92.5 wins. But based on my actual runs allowed I am on pace to give up about 85 less runs than expected and am projected for 101 wins. I’m feeling pretty good about that.
