Finding good starting pitching is like buying those scratch offs; sometimes you hit big (Castillo), and sometimes you don't.
I think you may have missed my meaning ?
Power hitters = RF,LF, 1B,3B the corners that's where your RBI, HR, sluggers play.
Your middle infielders and catcher are defense, 2B,SS,CF,C if you get production from them at the plate it's just a bonus.
In a perfect world you get a couple of the defensive spots say a good power hitting catcher and say a good batting average 2B. if you're lucky.
But this is the way Basball teams have been set up for ages. Power od the edges - hitting, defense is secondary. Defense up the middle.
