Is this what we’ve been reduced to?

Davis and Duda should protect David, they look capable of hitting 25-30 Hr each. It’s who they are going to drive in might be the question if we do not resign Reyes or someone that gets on base to lead-off.

He’s gonna bust out next season. I predict 12, maybe even 14 HR’s.

When Ruben Tejada gets 30 home runs a year we’ll be there. I bet the starting pitchers love it and so will Prince Fielder and Pujols and the biggest fan Larry “Chipper” Jones. Think about it. Oh yeah do you think this will make David Wright “unclutch.” It’s just as easy to strike out with a 308 foot fence as it is a 340 fence.

High BA players win in any park because they don’t need short porches to win!

A Big stadium may not be good for a HR hitter but it’s a BOON to high average hitters even those who don’t have Wll power because there is just so much space for the OF to cover!

So by building a team that is tailored to the current dimensions we would be building a team that can win in ANY stadium not just one that can win in a bandbox!

Don’t know if that is true but I do know that Papa Wilpon gave Jeff the CitiField project to keep him away from the Mets for a while. Jeff was “totally in charge of construction” of the new ballpark. Now Jeff is saying “it wasn’t my idea”. Nice fellow, huh?

A bigger field means less HR’s but more more open field leading to more base hits…seeing that the Mets had a mostly “pitch to contact’ rotation, I didn’t see the big field helping them too much. (especially seeing how Pelf would crumble with runners on base).

I think that the more “fair” park will help the pitchers. I cold only imagine what it’s like pitching a game, have a few runners on base and knowing that you have to pitch perfect because you know that your own team can’t score more than three runs a game.

I think it’ll help out pitchers relax and not try to be too fine. Plus it will help them by not getting into bad habits when they pitch on the road.

As for the hitters, I didn’t see Sh!t!F!eld as a difficult place for LH hitters to hit for power. Duda, Davis, Beltran and (short time) Delgado all hit bombs to right. But obviously something is screwing with RH hitters, both Wright and Bay lost all power once they started playing in Sh!t!F!eld. I can’t say about Bay, but I’m guessing it’s the same, Wright’s approach is completely different in the new park. There has to be something physiological going on.
