I would expect you'd have to likely have a highly rated defensive infield to see any effect?

In PT26 there was an HRA impact where an XFB guy would allow more homers than an XGB with the same rating: this year I have seen close to no impact on that. There are probably some super minimal defense things but really I've seen close to no impact and ignore it at this point.
