Good Pitching plus great hitting equals ?

The Yankees hope that having a strong starter every day will make up for the lack of star power in their rotation. There is some precedent for this the 2006 Yankees led the league in scoring and won their division with hitting. Their pitching failed them in the playoffs and their offense did too. They would have been stronger in the playoffs if they had one other starter than Wang and Mussina at the top of his game..they didn't and couldn't win a pitcher's duel..only a high scoring game. This season it may not matter because they face long odds of getting to the playoffs, but they have the potential to develop some long relievers to let Torre pull an ineffective starter early in a crucial game, or to hold a team down in the 4th-6th innings on a given day. This is often done with some young hard thrower and the Yankees have Sanchez, Ohlendorf, Britton, Beam and a few other young power arms to consider. The Yankee bullpen could be a factor too Vizcaino, Bruney, and Proctor are three proven options for the early or middle innings. This would leave Farnsworth and Rivera to close. Like the big Red Machine and some 1950's era Yankee teams...they will try to do it with good pitching, superior relief, and superior hitting.
