The purpose of this was to look at Williams’ book, and use it to generate off-season discussion over a hot stove, cup of coffee, cold beer… whatever your vice in this off-season.
I will always argue that hitting is more important than pitching. You can't win a game without scoring a run and you do that by hitting the baseball. I recognize there are ways to score without hitting the ball too but assume that's a low percentage. As a gray-bearded fan of the sport, I'd rather see more contact in the box than strike outs with the occasional HR. I'll stop here, short of a rant that would include my dislike of the DH and the joy of bunting.
