Yep, the fact we differ doesn't make either right or wrong. Just shows that although Coors is a tough park when it comes to drafting pitchers, theres a few ways to win there.

I've never drafted a Coors team, but this thread has me pondering the idea as well. It seems to me it would be a good idea to spend the majority of your payroll on pitching (probably low HR/low BB# types) and let the stadium "do it's thing" for your offense.

I think it would be cool if there was a theme league where you had to play in Coors but the teams with the fewest runs against made the playoffs.

Before they changed how A++++ range worked guys used to have teams with sub 3 ERAs in Coors.

Well have never made a Coors team.But I am looking @ making one now.I think will just load up on VERY high AVG guys.And not the norm of big home run hitters.

Why low k/9
More double plays.

Does 2b range still have a huge factor in double plays or did they fix that. At one point it was way more significant than SS range.

When I studied this before the update, I didn't find 2B rrf significantly more important than SS rrf in dps. It seemed to me they were both pretty close to having equal importance, as it is the pivot man that seems to determine DPs and 2B make only a few more pivots than SSs in the sim.

I thought it was right after the update that 2b rrf became real important. I can't remember though.



I normally don't make teams that depend on being able to turn double plays so I very well may be making this up.

I keep hearing that 2b range is a big factor in double plays but I dont see much evidence of it. just avoid the bottom end of the range and dont use utility infielders. there is a difference but it seems small to me.

If you have a team in Coors without at least 2 or 3 legitimate home run threats you're setting yourself up for failure. Somebody else will be able to hit them and will outslug you in your home park. The most important thing is not to waste money on hitters who walk a lot...

^ I disagree. It's counter-intuitive but HRs are most effective in ballparks that are +HR and minus everything else because it's harder to score any other way. HR aren't quite so essential when they are followed by more hits. high avg with adequate HR is the way to go in coors. high 2b is good they are much less expensive than HR.

At least before the update, range was a determining factor for DPs. As for how many DPs range would get you, by my calculations it was about 10 from D to A+ range.
