Team A - Select the best pitchers of all time and average players otherwise.
Team B - Select the best players of all time and average pitchers otherwise.
There are a couple inherent problems with this sweeping question but try to overlook them and boil it down to 'does pitching beat hitting'? (good defense beats a good offense?)
Nobody has ever agreed with me on this issue, nobody on these boards, none of my friends, it's a topic I like to revive every once in a while for a good discussion. I take Team B every day of the week and twice on the Sabbath.
This is one of those questions I wish I could ask the professionals, those who know the sport the best. I was never able to come across any real information on the subject until I was watching Rose vids yesterday and came upon a short insight into the matter.
Go to 20:40 (you don't have to wait for it to dl, you can skip around) and watch from there, only need to watch about 30 seconds. Basically he says good pitching does beat good hitting, unless the good hitting is a Wade Boggs or a Ty Cobb. My entire lineup will be composed of Ty Cobbs & Ted Williams.
