in the NAHHBL, I took over a White Sox team that was one of the worst in the AL.

I inherited a team with a great pitching staff, average hitting staff, a lousy defense, and no money. All I could afford was to upgrade the defense at a couple of key areas (SS, C, 3B).

Really, just by putting a much-improved defense behind my pitching staff, I was able to see an enormous improvement, as I took the lowly team all the way to the Series.

So, your mileage may vary, but I find defense to be pretty important.
