Crazy Splits...what to do?

[XerXes]

Kingdome '78, Chipper Jones. Unbelievable at home, but atrocious on the road. Is this something that might even out over the remaining 100 games, or should I try to find another option away from home?

I would expect it to even out some. But I might suggest posting...

Your ballpark. Other parks in your division/league?

Without better information I would not seek out a different road option. First, Chipper is taking up a significant amount of salary. Picking up a legitimate third baseman for road games could easily put you at the top of the league in spending on third basemen. Is that the best formula for overall winning? I am not saying it is not. I have after all platooned Brett and Schmidt before. :) But that was only because nobody would give fair value for Schmidt.

It could be that your ballpark encourages opponents to throw lefties at you there playing to Chipper's strength. On the road you may be seeing a lot of righties playing away from Chipper's strengths.
