Stadium confusion Topic

I am in the 1st year of a progressive and I thought I had one of the best teams in the league, but they are struggling below .500. I suspect my stadium is not appropriate for my team, but I can only change stadiums once in 10 years, so I would like advice on what to do.

I have a good offense, but my pitching stinks something awful. On paper they should be a top 5 unit, but they are actually bottom 5. 19th in ERA, 17th in WHIP, 22nd in OVA in a 24 team league. They are also 21st in HR but 8th in BB.

My stadium is Shea, which is 0 for singles and -1 for everything else, with a factor of .93. I thought that would be good for my pitchers but it seems to be an offensive haven despite the factor. Should I stay at Shea and see what next season brings or move to a different stadium? If the latter, what specs should I seek to make my pitching more competitive?

Would Safeco be a good choice to improve the pitching without ruining my top shelf offense?

Read through this thread. If you feel confident you have enough innings and will continue to have enough innings, you might want to go for a more offensive park.

Then again, that logic might not work the same in progressives as it is in single-season OL/themes.
