[Mr. Baseball]

I've been playing around with my online league team the last season, trading a lot of big bats for big-time fielders with average offensive skills to see if this would be a successful approach to winning. In theory, if you had extremely good pitching (bullpen and rotation) along with 8 Top Fielder type fielders in the lineup, would you be more successful than a team with the same pitching, average fielding and several stud hitters?

Let's say for sake of example that I construct a team where every single one of my starting position players has Gold Glove potential at their position, but they collectively post team averages of .240 batting and .300 OBP...could this team win if the pitching is good enough or do you need at least some offense?

I'm not talking about eight 'good' fielders. I'm talking about eight guys who are maxed out in almost every defensive rating. Guys with 10/10's across the board, but project to bat .240/.300...
