With the hitters this team has, the pitching and defense should be no problem, as long as the pitchers can get more quality starts than last season.

Ideally, yes, you can get by with mediocre pitching if your bats are good, but games get more competitive down the stretch and I'd really rather have good pitching rather than good hitting if we're talking about September/October success.
I do agree, however, that we'll get more quality starts than last season, I just don't know how much. Still overall I'm excited and I think we'll be in the mix for most of the season (hopefully at the end of the season as well).
