A player with 100 for each defensive rating will be excellent at any position
There's a reason I'm saying that.
Typically, you want a player at the most difficult position they can play
Quote:
Catcher: +12.5 runs
Shortstop: +7.5 runs
Second Base: +2.5 runs
Third Base: +2.5 runs
Center Field: +2.5 runs
Left Field: -7.5 runs
Right Field: -7.5 runs
First Base: -12.5 runs
Designated Hitter: -17.5 runs

While also considering the skills of their teammates
Certain positions emphasize different skills relative to similar positions
Outfield
Your best defensive OFer should play CF. Range is very important here.
RF emphasizes arm
Infield
Your best defensive infielder should play SS. Again range is important.
Strongest arm plays 3B
Weakest arm plays 2B
Worst infielder plays 1B
There's a link in my signature to User Studies. In that link is a link to a defense study by Argonaut that may interest you. Note: read the entire thread as some of the results are called into question
