Am I thinking about this correctly? For the sake of argument, lets say Soriano hit 50 HRs in 2006 and Howard hit 50 HRs in 2006. We load this data into OOTP thru the lahman dB and no park adjustments are made to the player model used to determine pitcher/batter outcomes. If this is the case, then either ballpark factors have no role in OOTP and the replay of 2006 has Soriano and Howard hitting approx 50HRs, or ballpark factors are included in the replay and Howard hits quite a few more HRs than Soriano b/c of their respective ballparks.
Which is it?
Thanks!

I'm not sure that I can totally answer your question but I do know that park factors are applied during a simmed game. Perhaps you are thinking of OOTP as a game that does historical replay. I think the people here will tell you that is not necessarily what OOTP does.
