It isn't as much as what I value as what I perceive to be the general rule of thumb that I either hear people say on the forums. I can't point to one specific instance, it is just what I picked up on with my years playing.

having them in a "hitters park" will give them that extra little bit of a disadvantage but its not to say that they wont still be great.

Do you think it is possible that it is something like an exponential rate of return? For example, a great power hitter may hit 10 more HR in a heavily weighted hitters park, while an average hitter may only hit 1 more HR? Maybe this is the reasoning behind this thinking?
