More so, the problem is that in OOTP4/5 defense was ridiculously overrated to the point where a difference between A and E rated SS was forth 8-10 wins- Jason Moyer's study on the subject is probably the best I've seen.

I did a study with more specificity, but didn't publish it b/c I'm a competitive wanker, and I didn't want anyone from my league to know. The difference between an A and an E at SS was 60 runs per year. At CF, it was 48 runs per year.
At catcher, it was 36 runs per year - that's range, not arm. In other words, an A range catcher was about 72 RBI better than an E range. Arm meant much less for catcher. I never did understand why catcher's range mattered so much.
