What parks and cap levels are best for Kaline?

He does not have the speed or OBP I usually prefer for small ball.
But he lacks HR power against leftys so not what I am looking for on a bomber team.

But I have never used him and would like to. So where and with what style team am I most likely to be successful? Is he only useful at 200 mil as a defensive replacement?

I've only used him one time as a full time player and had acceptable results. The only other times I've used him were in live leagues as a defensive replacement and spot starter.

I have used Kaline several times in the past with decent results:

Thanks. That was a great help. In Fulton he is remarkably consistent.

I was very pleased with his production in '71 Astrodome (righty slanted pitchers park) at $80M. Even though the park hurt his HR production, he had plenty of doubles/ triples to keep his slugging percentage near .500, plus his defense and arm presumably saved a lot of runs on a team that was involved in a lot of low-scoring games.
