Odds and Ends

So many sites have been publishing their ballpark factors over the last week and I hope to delve deeper into those soon. I’m really curious to see how the factor of the Metrodome (the third best pitchers park in 2007 according to ESPN) fares now that Johan Santana is out of the picture. I agree with those of you who are groaning about the suggestion that a single pitcher could have that much of an impact on the park factor, but I deem it worth exploring so I’ll let you know what I find.

With every additional year I continue to examine ballpark factors, I grow more and more skeptical that how strong an offense the home team has may play too large of a role in the end number. We’ll see after some further research. In the meantime, I wanted to draw your attention to a new page next to the Player Rankings and Top Prospects called “Ask the Expert.” I wanted to create a way to interact with readers more often and effectively and I believe this should do just that while keeping the main page more organized.
