Defensive Ratings

Is there a guide with the most important defensive ratings for each position?

I think there is a youtube persona called Sgtmushroom (or something like that) that has videos about this. Generally, I think its the below:

C: Catcher Ability
1b: Error, range
2b: Range
3b: Arm
SS: Range
LF: Range
CF: Range
RF: Range, Arm

I think his videos say range seems to be by far the most important factor in good defense, with SS and CF (and maybe 2b) usually needing players with 70+ range. Catcher ability helps your pitching staff. Middle infielders probably also need at least a decent Turn DP. Players up the middle should probably be strong defenders (C, SS, 2b, CF) with power/offense coming from the corners (1b, 3b, LF, RF)

Most important is relative to how you want to build your team. For example, when looking at second basemen, I tend to focus on Turn DP and Infield Error. I rarely care about defensive ratings of any first basemen I'm looking at. I want them to be all offense.
