I think it really depends on who your opponents are. Take a big hitting team like Cleveland up against a pitching/defense/speed team like Seattle (you could also use the Yankees in the example but I'm a Mariners fan) and Seattle is going to have the edge because they can exploit Cleveland's pitching weakness and defense....getting those quick guys like Suzuki and Cameron around the bases using bunts and infield singles. Then take Cleveland against a more balanced...like say Oakland...and Cleveland has a better advantage. While Oakland vs. Seattle would be a better matchup for Oakland because they are balanced enough to be harder to exploit the weaknesses. Just my two cents.

(I'm referring to the 2001 teams here)
