1. Pops Freshenmeyer Posted: September 05, 2007 at 04:26 PM (#2512844)Does anyone have a good read on the PCL and run environment?
2007 only
Runs: Albuquerque (1.20); Connecticut (0.87)
Hits: Albuquerque (1.09); San Jose (0.93)
2B: Asheville (1.19); Myrtle Beach (0.87)
HR: Tri-City [NY] (1.60); Modesto (0.74)
BB: Tri-City [WA] (1.11); Round Rock (0.91)
SO: Tri-City [WA] (1.18); Jamestown (0.83)
Three-year averages
Runs: Albuquerque (1.17); San Antonio (0.91)
Hits: Tri-City [NY] (1.11); Portland [OR] (0.94)
2B: Batavia (1.16); Jacksonville (0.91)
HR: Tri-City [NY] (1.50); Vancouver (0.72)
BB: Kane County (1.09); Montgomery (0.94)
SO: Tri-City [NY] (1.12); Jamestown (0.86)
Interestingly, the two Tri-City ballparks (on opposite ends of the country) both have high strikeouts and walks, but Tri-City [NY] is twice as good of a home run park.
Also, is there something about the weather in the Pacific Northwest/northern California that retards offense? Tacoma, San Jose, Portland, Sacramento and Vancouver all among the eight worst hitter's parks, based on the 3-year average...
For Arkansas, they introduced a new stadium this year and went from an extreme hitters park to a pitchers park. For that team I'd throw out the 3 year averages. Does anyone know what other teams have changed parks in the last 3 years?
Yeah - dumbass me forgot to credit Jeff for the raw data.
You'd think the doubles factor would be higher, though.
Thanks for the notice - I'm usually good at getting new parks, but I forgot about that this time 'round. I'll make some corrections.
Yes. Pitcher's park.
Yeah, no kidding. Awesome.
Dodd is a crazy pitcher's park. Giants hitting prospects aren't that good, but they look even worse because they get killed in AA. The Giants are trying to get them to change the dimensions, but there are apparently money issues involved. I think that the Defenders want the big club to pay for the changes, and they are also upset that they keep getting crap teams.
Take John Bowker for example: not a great prospect, but he really might have broken through this year, with a .309/.364/.529 year in AA. His home split at Dodd? .271/.330/.422. On the road? .345/.397/.629. And the EL even outside Dodd isn't exactly hitting paradise.
Funny, I was just looking at the stats and wondering why Erie, Binghamton and Reading appeared to be so good for hitters.
?
Look at the other teams in the conference, and according to those numbers, it's a better hitter's park than all but ALBQ (which is, of course, an extreme park).
Given the mostly conference-bound schedule of the PCL, I imagine ALBQ pushes the other conference team's numbers down a bit.
For league context, here's 2006-07 R/G (does not include the EL's tiebreak game, also this is per game, not per 9 innings).
[u]Lg. 2007 2006[/u]
MLB 4.77 4.80
Int 4.35 4.17
PCL 5.13 4.83

This has been covered already, but San Jose and Vancouver were both built to be pitcher's parks, whereas the identified PCL clubs are in a league with some of the best stadia in which to hit in the minors (primarily the Mountain time zone ones).
****
I was a little surprised that the Lancaster PF wasn't even higher than 1.19, considering the insane numbers that club put up on offense.

Dan, nitpicky question: do you plan on refreshing the short season factors at the end of the week (when their seasons will be complete)?
That loud expletive you hear is a man who just realized that the short-season leagues didn't end Monday and he's going to have to do re-do like 22 park factors.
Thanks!
For example, I see Tacoma's 3-year factor at 0.90. Now is that relative only to the PCL or is does that pertain to all leagues? In other words, should I interpret this as "Tacoma is a pitcher-friendly park in a hitter-friendly league"?
Would that make Tacoma a neutral park everywhere else?
Yes.
It is relative to the PCL. On balance, you still have to let some air out of the Tacoma stats, just not as much as if the player had played in, say, Salt Lake.
-- MWE
Another one, using Tacoma as an example once again.
Would you expect Tacoma to play as a pitcher's park in a neutral league as well?
