I'd rather have a fielder who handles 200 chances with 3 errors than one who has little range and only handles 100 chances with 1 error (given the same playing time, of course). Besides range, there are other considerations such as stopping errors by teammates (as in a first baseman who can scoop out low throws; Eddie Murray comes to mind), and the ability to start a double play (again, Eddie Murray has a strong arm and starts a higher than average number 3-6-3 or 3-6-1 double plays).
