For example, a ball run down in the gap by a great CF that makes it look like a bit of a stretch could very well be a double by an okay CF. But you can't really see that because there is no baseline to compare to - it's pretty much impossible to tell if the CF got a good jump and took a good route compared to just an okay one.

Yes.
Errors is also a flawed stat. I would want my team to make more errors, that also means they're getting to more balls and making more plays. A team that never moves towards a ball will make less errors.
