There is a significant issue with fielding and that is players being extremely overpowered. I posted in another thread that Cal Ripken can make about 1000 more assists in his career than he actually did and ends up with a 1.29 defensive efficiency, when he actually had a 1.024 defensive efficiency, giving him 12x more plays above average than he should have made. That is a huge problem in the game. For reference, Ozzie Smith had a 1.05 career defensive efficiency, meaning he made 5% more plays than the average SS. When players like Cal Ripken overperform that means other players at the position underperform.
