Suggestion:
The defensive rating and range factor are not enough, we need something like defensive zone ratings to quantify defensive ability.

Reason:
Right now, we aren't able to quantify how good defenders are. This is especially problematic when managing a small-market team in which the need to understand the trade-off between offense and defense is so important. There are good statistics to measure offensive ability and pitching, defense is a glaring omission.

Priority:
High: for more realism, GMs need to be able to understand defensive ability in terms of statistics, the same as we get for offense and pitching.
