The first thing I see is that RF isn't really a dump position. It's easily the 2nd most important OF position and yes, range does matter. A 65 middle infield is really about average so maybe it was bad luck or a big park, I don't know. That doesn't look like a top 1 or even top 5 in a 15 team league defense but it should be league average if that's really the group that's playing together the entire season.

ETA: ah, the SS didn't have experience at the position, so probably he was effectively like a 40 or something for a while. Hopefully he's trained up to be decent overall now. The game does a decent job at grading guys and IME 60 overall for SS/2B defense is where you should start looking for guys if you want a team that doesn't give up a lot of runs in the field.
