I did a test a while back on how power hitters fare in pitchers parks. Whether it's the same in real baseball, I don't know, but in OOTP, power hitters severely underperform (their average drops along with their homers) in parks where homers are harder to hit. It's not true 100% of the time, but in the vast majority of cases it is. Pitchers also last longer in games, so middle relief is less important.
