I've played 4 teams in Coors, all pitching oriented to see if I could make it work. All were over .500, 2 of them had the best record in their league, and 1 won the world series. Mind you -- all teams were before the implementation of the log5 adjustment to increase errors for deadball pitchers.

I shoved extra dough into pitching, to get low OAV, good hitting pitchers able to handle high pitch-counts (Carruthers, Ruth).

I think there is something to the idea of nipping long rally's using DPs with good fielding SS-2B combo. Sacrificing minimally for batting avg., and I managed 402 -- putting my team in the upper 2/3rds of the league. Along with the low # HRs given up, I think it helped keep opponent scoring in check. I was in the lower 1/3rd in ERA, but that's not too back considering SP WHIPs of 1.06, 1.07, and 1.08 in Coors.

As for HRs, I tried to maximize the differential between the ones I gave up versus hit. That worked well -- I led the league in most offensive categories, including HRs (173), yet was #3 in HRs given up at 47 (#1 was 43). That 130 HR differential was critical to success.

On offense, I let Coors take care of my OBP and SLG, and concentrated on hits and and some HRs.

Aside from a good SS-2B combo, I dropped the idea of good + fielders. Puckett bats well in Coors, but his RF went way under-utilized in my first 2 teams.

I just had a Coors team reach the final 8 in the TOC and i used only one true hr hitter, along with high avg hitters.  If you go too heavy on HRs you will definitely be in for a long season, because remember, you have to be able to win in the other parks in order to make the playoffs. And a lot of the other teams in OLs will be minus HR parks and deadball pitchers.

I've played almost exclusively in Coors for 8 years. On offense, a major key is to realize that it is not a home run hitters' park. It is a hitters' park. High ratings for singles, double and triples as well as home runs, and non-HR guys can perform big there. Another key is to draft players who can perform well on the road as well as at home. Finally, speed (not necessarily steals) is helpful. It's not that crucial at home, but it helps a lot on the road.

A couple guys I always draft are 93 Delino DeShields and 23 Cy Williams. On my recently completed 103 win team, DeShields hit .367 in Coors and .341 on the road. This is how it always is with him. His best historical performance is with me at Coors. For my current Coors team, he's at .385 after 37 games. His speed is high 80s, his B/A fielding results in lots of + plays...cheap at $4.9 million.

23 Cy shouldn't need much introduction. Consistant 40-50+ HRs, average well over .300, RBIs as high as 250. On my last team, his splits were .357/.416/.608 in Coors .298/.368/.560 on road, 22 HRs at Coors, 24 on road. His speed is 85, and his B/B glove yields double-digit + plays. $6.2 million.

As an aside, an A+ range CF is a must. My 86 Pettis had 30 + plays for the season and his speed resulted in scoring 75 runs at Coors.

My final 8 TOC Coors team had a A/D- SS/2B combo.  So, as I always say, IMO, range isn't as important as some believe.
