Poll Results: Hitting was key to last season’s success

Fans voted hitting as the most important aspect of the Yankees’ success last season.

The Yankees led the majors in runs, homers, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Certainly their offense played a major role, but I think the postseason pitching was more of a factor than people realize.

The three-man rotation worked very well, and the bullpen had five quality pitchers (Mariano Rivera, Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, David Robertson and Damaso Marte).
