On the other had, there are a few teams out there that are consistent 95+ game winners at the Perfect League level that run out a team of entirely 95+ defenders with mediocre offensive ratings. It's a balancing act. A historical Diamond/Perfect hitter that is an awful defender is probably a great hitter. Similarly, being an amazing defender can get you a high overall ratings even if you're offense is only mediocre. That Scott Rolen card was a very mediocre hitter but was still a Diamond because of his amazing defense and ability to play 2B/SS/3B at a 90+ level.
