Or maybe we'd see a 'D' range with a higher than expected fielding percentage like .975 at shortstop.

I was wondering perhaps there are really very little correlation between a player's range and a player's ability to avoid errors.
It's just that when a player happens to have both abilities, we'd remember them as great fielders, while a player happens to lack both, we'd remember them as terrible fielders. Human mind tends to forget all those others inbetween who got half set of the skills.
