Another example of low defensive ratings is the perfect Gehrig, which looks like it will translate to about a 38 rating at 1B. While Gehrig and Ted Williams may have been subpar fielders, these ratings would make them historically bad.
Philosophically, can a card be rated a perfect or high diamond card if the defensive ratings are abysmal?
As an aside, most of the historical player fielding ratings in the 20 database seem much more accurate than in 19, so these players may be the exception, not the rule.
