Who are the best pitchers for a Hitters park

[rjohaire]

2 expensive relievers with at least R3 ratings
spread the rest evenly between your 4 or 5 SPs (i've been playing with it, but the non* pitchers seems a better buy at that level)

Defense does make a differnce - the more 1s and 2s the less hits when your relievers are in there

Rjoh - I've never played with a staff like that but I've been kicking the tires. I agree with using the non* pitchers. How much do you usually end up spending on the entire staff? Does this work for any park or is it better suited to HR parks as opposed to Forbes?

The defense is brutal and will only hurt the pitchers, adding more misery to their own bad cards. But you might have enough offense to overcome all that. I'd add a +.450 on base machine to the lineup and get one above average SP. The 7.5 M ? Palmiero at 1B would work, to help save some cash. Is O. Charleston avail in CF, drop Hack and Kiner then get a new LF. Then spend some of that $ on a SP of say 8-9M.

I think not quite enough defense here to just slug your way to the playoffs, but just maybe they will. A 4-3-4 in the OF is absurd to try, give up some HR for D, your park will make a 36 hr guy a 45+ hr guy etc. Hope this helps.
I'm the guy who said Richard would get killed in a singles park (when someone else asked for advice), with everyone else having bomber parks and he's 15-17 with 50 gopher balls, so maybe a little time scouting out the other teams in your division could pay off. If there are homer parks too you need some D and pitching. Hope this helps. Good luck

Using the big relievers, I would think about 25% works as opposed to about 40% in a normal staff. I'm just testing this out but from what I've seen on othere successful teams, seems to work.

Yes it works in small ball, and maybe better when you consentrate on D and can use SPs w/o reguard to BP HRs.

If you are dead set on spending 10mil on 1 guy in your line up Kiner is the wrong guy to do it with, IMHO. You'd be better off doing it with a bullet proof guy EG Musial or Gehrig, or with a Larry Walker/Stearnes type. However I'm just not sure you really should put so much into 1 guy at this cap if you are going with a staff like that.
