Typically, players with great range are also great defensive players in terms of avoiding errors. Sure, they might sometimes increase their own errors because they can get to more balls and put themselves into more situations to commit a throwing error or botch a play, but, generally, range and defense should go together.
I'm not sure about what's the situation in the game, but in real life, fielding percentage didn't correlate well with either range factors or zone ratings.
