I remember when Zduriencik put together a team based on defense and I ground my teeth to dust while trying to explain that offense is additive but defense has a peak efficiency tail-off.

THIS. I could never explain it, but this is it.

I have never been a fan of defense-heavy rosters.

Average~Plus Offense + Plus Defense, sure.
e.g., Ichiro, Olerud, Seager, Boone, Cano, Cameron, Griffey, A-Rod, etc.

But Minus-Minus Offense + Plus Defense?
No thank you!

And I'm not seeing anything to indicate it's the former and not the latter at this point.
