It's not a criticism of anything.
I think the defensive metrics (and ratings) may be very useful in the non-historical sims, but they are far less valuable in historical sims. So any OOTP players of historical sims should understand that, for example, trading for Brooks Robinson or Mark Belanger or, I dunno, Cesar Tovar will not give you the defensive benefits you hope for. But they will probably still win the Gold Glove even if their defensive performance is only average because your pitchers have poor BABIP ratings.
