I just drafted a team in safeco, so left slanted, and I got a bunch of LH hitters that crush on righties. Problem is there's about 8 lhsps in my division.

Now I'm wondering, since there is a very limited supply of lefty hitters who can hit lefties, is it better to grab a righty who crushes lefties,(buck, hart, r. Castro) even though my park would be horrible for that? Or try to get some more balanced LH hitters (mccann)

Here's a link to the team:

I don't think the ballpark effect is that drastic 7 for L v. 2 for R. I would look to add some hitters who can hit LH pitching.

Well its the difference in a 10% chance is a HR and a 35% chance tho

Good point. I take it you have a platoon partner for Ortiz? With 8 LHP in your division, it really limits his effectiveness.
Maybe by the time your season starts some of your division mates will have cashed in some of the LHP.
