Which Stadium? (Open League) Topic

I apologize if this is kind of a corny question (I think its corny) but I'm wondering if I could pick the brains of a few in here. The team below is a team that I've built that I'll probably be entering in an Open League here soon.

For those of you that are more experienced, if you had this team what stadium would you put them in?

I wouldn't go extreme. I wouldn't go with a limiting pitchers park. Give your bats a chance. Try Forbes. I like Metrodome too. Baker Bowl allows lots of offense, but isn't extreme like Mile High or Coors.

I won't pick your roster apart, but I would try to improve range at middle infield. My 2 cents. Your pitchers will thank you. Those 2 spots get tons of chances.

Thanks for the advice! I was looking at places like Memorial, Candlestick, and Yankee Stadium II as mild pitchers parks, or US Cellular with the same idea but for a slight HR boost.

Non-comment about infielders (I assume the C range more than anything?) is noted. I’ll keep fiddling with the roster

I would lean towards pitchers parks if you're tight on innings, hitters parks if you have depth. Sounds weird but try it.

If all else fails try Grizzly_one's advice and default to Riverfront. Ask him, it's not from me.

Most teams play better on the road in the Sim. Don't sweat your choice, just avoid extreme parks unless your team truly belongs there.

Yes, I referred to the weak middle infield range...Think "strong up the middle" as a general rule.

(Catcher, 2nd/SS, CF). I want ball hawks there whenever possible.

IMO, and I'm no expert for sure (look at my lack of WS!) but in any hitter's park I think Cuellar will get lit up. Lots of HR's allowed.
