I'm not sure what your settings are, but it's possible that Griffey's so-so fielding ratings are due to being based on career totals. Do you get similar results when you base fielding on 3-year or season totals?
Players with extra long careers like Griffey might have their ratings hurt a bit as it takes into account the 35+ declining part of their career, that isn't the case for inferior players with shorter careers. It's evident with Banks, where has pretty much no SS ratings as he played 1B almost exclusively in his 30's. I guess a suggestion to improve this in a future version would be to base "career totals" fielding ratings on, for e.g., peak years, their first 10 years, or just ignore 35+ years or something like that.
