We've had these arguments before, but PB is purely an offensive guy. He thinks offense is the most important thing by far. I think pitching, especially starting pitching, is. Although I'll concede the Royals bullpen is so ridiculously good it negates some of that.

Still you're right, that's what I like about baseball... you can win different ways if you are playing to your strengths at a high level. There have been teams that mash the ball, teams with terrible offenses but good pitching, teams with speed and defense. It makes the game interesting.
