Am I more likely to win with a team that is an offensive powerhouse or is it better to focus on building a great pitching staff. I'm starting to lean toward the idea that a great pitching staff combined with even a middle of the road offense is more likely to win a championship than the reverse. Just curious to hear what others think about this.

I suggest you get both the best batter and pitchers you can. The real trade-off happens with the hitters. Do you value power, speed, contact, defense? No reason not to pick up great pitchers to compliment whatever offensive strategy you have.
