It should be blindingly obvious that its a leftfielder stuck in short, if he doesn't have any range, but if I showed you these three stat lines, which would you guess had no rating and no infield arm of which to speak, and which was had the optimum ratings and arm strenght that any player could possibly develop?
Shortstop 162 162 203 478 102 721 40 .945 1348.1 4.81 (0/20)
Shortstop 162 162 202 446 91 687 39 .943 1336.1 4.63 (20/30)
Shortstop 162 162 204 483 87 726 39 .946 1335.2 4.89 (100/100)
This is an area that is easy to test, because it should be so striking that it defies such things as sample size etc i.e. someone with no range should be terrible. By all accounts, the Thomas without rating/arm was BETTER than the 100/100 Thomas, if we look at the DPs.
Thus, I think it has to be a bug with the player editor or with the way in which OOTP calculates defense for non-ranged players. Whether its indicative of a bigger flaw of the range system is something that someone who knows more about it than me should answer.

That is rather bad, maybe it is strictly a SS bug? Try the experiement with CF and 2B and see how that works.....
not that this doesn't need to be addressed
