I've compared some of the suggested players from '11 to '13 and what I find is the predicteds are the same. Pre-2013 I've felt Handling was simply Range with a shiny new name and that it meant very little for catchers. I don't think you can compare 2011 Handling to 2013 Handling since they aren't calculated the same.
2013's defensive formula seems to have changed greatly. I see other positions where players greatly lost their defensive vitals. It's simply how Mogul figures the ratings on 2013, it's completely different. We've historically had weak defensive catchers. "Fixing" Handling will only artificially inflate other ratings.
