Stadium Question

Someone wrote:

OTOH

You aren't going to win with that lineup, so it really doesn't matter what park.

What does "OTOH" mean?

While the quote may be true, it is kind of rude, unless maybe these two know each other, or are in the same league, and this is just friendly banter?? ... Maybe it is just some harmless fun?? .... Otherwise it seems like something one 8th grader would say to another.....I am probably wrong, at least I hope I am.... Best of luck.

I have no idea what "OTOH" means other than "On the other hand". I do not think that I ever played in a league with him. I know my team is weak on defense but that is not what feedback I was looking for. I was just looking for feedback on what stadium I should target.

C- J.T. Realmuto (R) 2 (-2)
C- M. Wieters (S) 2 (-2)
DH- D. Ortiz (L)
1B- J. Abreu (R) 4
2B- D. Murphy (L) 4
3B- J. Ramirez (S) 2
SS- T. Story (R) 3
LF- K. Bryant (R) 3
CF- C. Blackmon (L) 3
RF- M. Kemp (R) 4
UT- K. Tomlinson 2B 3
UT- A. Escobar SS 1

RP- A. Miller
RP- J. Familia

Because of the bad defense in the middle infield, you will not be able to turn as much double-plays as your opponents. So I would go with a stadium with low singles. And you'll have lots of power, from both sides of the plate (vs rhp, you have 24 BP homeruns from right-handed bats and 23 BP from left-handed bats), so I'll go with a stadium with high HR equal on both sides if possible..

So I guess I would hesitate between:
Citizen's Bank Pk '16 1 1 13 13
Yankee Stadium '16 3 3 19 16

Thanks

OTOH = on the other hand

And yes, you can win with bad defense at 1 or 2 spots. But not with the entire lineup.

4 @ 2B = extremely bad
3 @ SS = bad
3 @ CF = bad
4 @ Corner OF = bad

Abreu isn't that good, Kemp isn't that good. Murphy should slide to 1B, get a better 2B. If you do that one move, then I would think different.

But unless this is an iron glove theme league, I don't see the offense outpacing how many runs you will give up.

Not being rude, but you've been here enough years that should be obvious.

Your not being rude, I know the defense is bad. I'm looking to have fun with this draft and team and looking for a stadium that best fits the bats that's all.

I'd play Murphy at 1B, with Ortiz at DH. Use Abreu to get a SS who can field. Dodger would be a good place to play. LH power Park where RHH can stuill hit some HRs. Have SP's who don't give up HRs - Esp vs the leftside.

And/or a 2B who can field.

You can get away with a 3 range in CF but need to have at least 2 range fielders at ss and 2B - which is very deep. I know Abreu is a nice value playe, but you have basically 3 DH's with Ortiz, Murphy and Abreu. Ortiz and Murphy will give you a lot of pop at Dodger. If you sacrifice Abreu, you can get some D that hits at 2B or a RH 3B with power.

Phillips or Schoop might go nicely with Tomlinson as a platoon.
