I'm having this weird problem where the position ocmponent of a rectangle of the XNA type is offsetting the position the sprite is rendered to as well.

I guess a broader question I'm trying to have answered is: how can I make 4 integer values: top, left, bottom, right (in texture space) the equivalent of an XNA rectangle?

There are two rectangles when drawing a texture with spritebatch (also depends on which overload you are using), the source rectangle specifies where in the texture the image is take from (you can specify this as null to use the entire texture), the destination rectangle specifies where this image will be drawn on screen.

The source rectangle is mainly used to load sprite animations that are stored in one texture.

For example this is a sprite sheet in which 3 animations are encoded.
