I currently have a good franchise/keeper team going using Griff 57. My club is much more righty heavy then what you have listed, but I also am playing with a limited player pool @ $100m. My big guys are Killebrew, Sievers (3.94 card) and my lefty pop is Gentile. My take is that the lefties or switch hitters in a 1/16 BPHR park need to have a lot of pure HR's on their cards.

Gentile has 12.6 pure HR vs RHP

Of course the king is Bonds...but the others I like are Stargell, Mantle, Maris, Boog, McCovey, Giambi, Reggie, Eddie Mathews, Ryan Howard. For the price Johnny Blanchard and Kal Daniels fit nicely as well.

Good luck
Rosie

That is a park I haven't used for a long time. When I did, I went with 3-4 Lh hitters with no power, high BA. And 5-6 Rh hitters with high OBP and HR power.

Good luck. It is an intriguing park!

I have found that in ballparks with splits like these (lefty average, righty power), there is more success to be found focusing more on the power side of things. I would recommend 2 lefties in the lineup to set the table and then most everyone else a righty power hitter.

E.g. this team, which missed the playoffs but did win 88 games:
