Come on, if you say you'd rather have the pitcher you are either stupid, ignorant or drunk. 
It's the catcher who is the most important player on the field. It's the catcher blocking all the balls thrown in the dirt and leaping up and snagging all those high pitches that prevents base runners from running around the diamond like cars at a NASCAR race.
Just kidding of course.
Sort of.

You are supposed to keep the generator outside the shelter when ice fishing. Otherwise the fumes...
I love the smell of gas fumes in the morning. Smells like... victory. Like a Minnesota Golden Gophers victory. Or like their 11-4 and 1-0 victories over South Carolina last year.
Catcher’s parent.
My DD plays a fine 2nd base, most important position on the field.

And that might be the case. That wasn't clear to me.
If it's pitching vs. defense (fielding), then I don't think there's any question. A great pitcher with average defense will do much better than an average pitcher with great defense, IMO. Remember that she said average defense, not bad defense.
Not saying that defense is unimportant, but in college fastpitch, I think fielding is no more than 10 percent of the game.

Aren't you supposed to start talking ND smack now? Why limit yourself to the frozen rodents when you can now represent the drunk Irish?

As Giants fan let me just say that it was really nice having a Mad Dog pitcher. But then again my Dodger brethren did not fare so well with an ace pitcher.
I'm still weeping about that one. Having an untrustworthy bullpen hurt us bad. Having a mediocre defense didn't help.
As hard as this is to say, as a Dodgers fan, I have mad respect for Mad Bum's grit and determination.
Just to further muddy the waters, keep in mind if your "great" pitcher is on a par with other "great" pitchers in the conference then she's not great. She's average within that context.
I think the coach in the quote was referring to winning games...so offense AND defense are taken into consideration.
