In real life, the center of the field guys have the most area to cover. So it follows that SS, 2B, and CF would probably contribute the most to Range, IF it is indeed weighted. I believe/hope that it is weighted. 3B vs 1B is a little more iffy. In real life there are more right handed hitters. So defense/range would be more important at 3B. But in the game we have a LOT of lefties. Is the weighting based on the batters handedness? Its possible. I think most of us are hedging that range at 3B is more valuable than 1B still, but there are obviously differences in opinion about how much. Hurstdm is definitely betting more on 3B than I am.

I try not to overthink the range thing - it probably works against me, but I ignore the aggregate thing and play those who I think are best for the position.
