Thinking of using him as a cheapo DH.

Fenway 67, with high singles and high homers, or parks similiar to that, are best for him.
he can play full time, but will be injured alot.......

Indeed, I have often used Belardi, but it is important to hedge your bets with a player like Bill Terry for times of inevitable injury. I like having Quirk as the backup catcher on such teams, same reasoning, or an outfielder that can rotate in.

I actually have quirk on this team, and lee lacy also. I am in huntington so I figured when he plays he would hit pretty well.

Roosky -
I tried him once in a Briggs type park, and he was putrid. .185 with 15 HRs and 3 injury in 90 games before I dumped him.

A week ago I would have warned you that pitchers injury happen on the DH's card but that is not the case. I just had a pitcher go down in a DH league and I'm sure it was the result of the #9 hitter's roll as the DH didn't bat during the injury inning.
Belardi has appeared mostly in extreme hitters parks [9806 AB - .237/.303/.489 - 99.5 RC700].
Kluszewski will do better as a DH, with the same injury concern.
