There's really only a couple above average defenders on the whole squad? Matrix have any input? He doesn't commit many errors which helps I guess.

Yes...my best guess is this which is the first thing that came up when I searched the number (defensive efficiency) DEF from the MLB website:
Defensive efficiency is a very good tool for assessing team defense, but it has its flaws. For instance, a team whose pitchers allow a high frequency of hard-hit balls will most likely have a lower DER because those balls are more likely to wind up as hits.
That is that his pitchers are so good they are making it easy for the defense.
