Sometimes you see a season where a team is loaded with fine hitters and so-so pitching. The hitting wins alot of games by scoring alot of runs. The pitchers however benefit and come out of the season with very nice won/loss records.
On the other hand sometimes you see a season where a team has very fine pitching and absolutely no hitting. These pitchers end the season with bad won/loss records because you can't win if you don't hit somewhat. I suppose you have to be good at smallball in this case.
What is the best approach for these two situations?
How do these situations affect what the scouts perceive when they are deciding what teams to scout?
Do some pitchers just get the "shaft" when they're good but the hitting on their team is subpar?
