If so, you're wasting home runs, and would be better off trading the 30 HR guy for someone equally as good whose strengths lie elsewhere.
Sure, runs are more important in a bigger park- but it's relatively easier to get them by means other than home runs.

Well I totally disagree.
If you would please explain the success of:
A. Mark McGwire in St. Louis
B. Barry Bonds in San Francisco
2 HR hitters in 'pitcher's parks'.
