There are weak hitting, glove first players on waivers and great two way players. Adding Outs Above Average or another defensive stat would make these players more relevant in fantasy. On the flip side, slugging bat first players would have a statistical deficiency. Like it or not defense is part of the sport and as far as I can see the only defensive stats are errors or fielding percentage that isn’t very indicative of a players fielding value.
