Can you guys recommend some players for CandleStick Park, please??
(Pitchers and Hitters)

The best bet is to use the search mechanism: type in Candlestick or the Stick and see what you come up with. There are a ton of posts on this topic.

Basically, Candlestick is ideal for using less expensive pitchers who have bp homeruns on their card. Sps: Dean, Derringer, Boyd, Lolich, Sanderson, Ceccarelli, Bennett are prime examples. Rps: Richert, Hall, Lopez. They benefit from the park and they will usually outperform their salary.

That frees up cash for your hitting. The thing to look for there is lots of obp--Musial, Speaker, Wagner, Ruth, Shoeless, Rolfe, Eddie Collins, those kinds of guys--and "pure" sluggers who have very few bp homers on their card. Somebody like Cooper, Aaron, Yount is good because they don't lose too much; somebody like Cepeda is a mistake because their power will be dramatically cut back.

Here is my Championship Candlestick team
