I do agree with you that Perfect Team is a tough thing to figure out, and some of the data from users seems to show Catcher Defense may not matter as much as in regular OOTP. But there's no real way to test it thoroughly.

One thing I would also add is that WAR doesn't tell the whole story for catchers. As far as I can tell the whole pitch framing thing (more K's, fewer BB's) doesn't show up in a catcher's WAR. And that's like the entire value of a defensive catcher! So pitchers are "stealing" that WAR from catchers.

I think it was Fangraphs that recently made adjustments to catcher WAR to take into account pitch framing. Some catchers like Yadi got a huge boost and others got a WAR subtraction. I don't think this is in OOTP yet, maybe next year.
