Hi, I’m the guy who wrote the three articles on defense. Thank you, jpeters1734, for recommending them.

I’d like to point out that while I think most of what is in these three articles would be applicable to any OOTP league, I did write them specifically for the GMs in my league. So when I say stuff like “the minimum Range requirement for a good shortstop is 70”, I say that because I believe it is true in my league. You may be in a league where the average Range rating for a shortstop is lower than it is in my league, and in that case a 65 or even 60 Range rating at SS might be just fine. The purpose of these articles was to help GMs in my league understand what they need to do to build a good defense in my league, and the minimum ratings requirements were based on observing Zone Rating and Defensive Efficiency statistics in my league.
