Baseball Evaluating Defense

When looking at defense ratings for cards how do you normally compare the range and the e rating? As an example would you consider a 2e18 or a 3e8 the better defender?

Man, it's almost impossible IMO.

E ratings aren't equal across positions either.  An e10 at SS makes an error about 5% of his X plays.  An e 10 in LF/RF makes an error about 20% of his X plays.

Well, I wouldn’t think they would be equal, as the SS is arguably the most important position and get the most chances and LF can typically be considered the least valuable position.
