Can someone tell me, so I can get it into my thick head; are these players any good for pitcher's parks, i.e, Comerica, Petco, SBC etc?
Natural Homers BPHR's
Beltran 5.2 5.8 8 8
A Jones 3.2 3.8 5 7
J.Guillen 3.5 3.5 7 7
Alou 2 6.2 2 7

Most of these players have decent natural home runs vs one side or both. But some have lots of BPHR's. Is it best to draft players with good natural home runs and low BPHR or can they have both; high 'natural' and high BP?? This is something I often overlok I think and need to know the answer

I had Andrew in Petco and he hit like a girl.

Glaus has a lot of natural HRs

So you would advise staying away from hitters with high bp if possible, unless they have high natural hr as well? If a choice was between a player with high natural hr but low BP and one with both high bp and natural hr who would you go with? Surely a card with lots of BP and Natural is going to be penalised in a pitcher's park, whereas high natural HR's are good wherever you play?

Aray, Shhhhhh! Don't tell everybody about Marcus Thames!

Read the cards, it's all there

Thanks Aray for the potted version. I presumed that is what was needed but hadn't seen it written down as such.
