Compared with someone most of us have, Jimmie Foxx - still at 1b, every rating is better, especially error and still a 70, much lower than Boog. He's still 6ft tall, not a little guy.

Gehrig's only a 79 but with much better ratings and still 6'.

Sisler to me makes sense. Good range but boots the ball around so he ends up a 68.

I know people get more worked up over the overall card numbers but I'm wondering now if the overall defense makes any difference at all either.
Perhaps I miss construed you. What do you mean by "overall stock number"? No one who plays OOTP would ever use such a phrase.

My suggestion is that you spend some time playing real OOTP to get a feel for how this baseball game actually operates.
