Fantasy Baseball: HR/FB Park Factors

Back at it after a day away from it all yesterday. Should have a few more posts today. Today's post is courtesy of Dan Turkenkopf from The Hardball Times. Do you consider this datapoint when drafting hitters and pitchers on draft day?

Consider

I will look at them at the extremes and when picking up the back-up outfielders and infielder in single league formats. That aside, I don’t think they make a big difference given the regualr variability in production, playing time and injury. Of those three, playing time is the easiest to “control.”

It’s a thing to look at when players are signed to a different team or traded away, but it’s not a huge factor for me.

One case I’d like to point out is Jake Peavy. Going from one extreme to another might have a substantial impact.

Peavy

totally agree. His home/raod splits in the NL were not that great the past few years.
