Under the category of "experimenting with a new ballpark"...I'm off to a very slow start, but only 12 games in.

Any advice? I've been doing very well in pitcher's parks in 07, but I think RFK is affecting my hitting more than I anticipated...

A shallow pen (2 9L's with hight WHIP's?) and 3 guys with max BPHR's (at least on 1 side) are issues for a pitcher park.

I'm actually in a lefty-heavy division (over 50% of batters faced are lefties). Deep bullpen's typically aren't necessary in a pitcher's park either, which is why I went with a closer and setup man, with some extreme's for matchups.

Why do you say bphr's are issue for a pitcher's park? That should work in my favor... :)

I'm more concerned on the hitting side...that's the part of the equation that may affect me more than usual. :roll:

A couple thoughts:

I see Bonser is available, I'd drop Cain to pick him up.

You're right not to go too deep in the pen, but I've been finding matchup guys don't cut it. Particularly don't like Guardado. How about Cappellan or Beimel?

Your d isn't bad (save for the 4 in left), but it won't help you, so you'll feel it in your pitching staff.

Overall your bats aren't bad, but not values for the park. If I were to change, I might start with C. Lee. There are a lot of nice pieces available, just depends how much you want to change in-season.

I should have been more clear. I was speaking of Holliday, Morneau and Lee.

LOL...yeah, makes sense now! :lol:

I have Patterson and Tony Armas Jr doing real well in their home park along with Johnson Vidro and that 3rd baseman in a league where I have to keep the Nationals plus 2 along with Freddy Sanchez Get OBP ahead of your power Dont overload on power Go for the small ball but a couple of guys who can hit the 3 run dinger Think tou have a good one in Lee :wink:
