Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute ---- are you telling me that the park factors for Doubles & Triples can be GREATER than 1.1? That it can be 1.5? I always interpreted the warning you see:
"AVG & HR facdtors must be <1.1 and > 0.9"
to mean all six of the values in the list (AVG LHB, AVG RHB, Doubles, Triples, Home Runs LHB, Home Runs RHB) had to be between 0.9 and 1.1... are you saying Doubles and Triples can be 1.5?
My universe is exploding!
If indeed you can set Doubles and Triples to 1.5... what effect does this have? As a back of the envelope explanation, I figure setting AVG to 1.1 means pitcher performance will suffer by about 10%. And setting HR to 0.9 means the pitchers give up about 10% fewer HR, so their MOV ratings are effectively 10% better than shown. But adding to Doubles and Triples.... does this turn singles into XBH? What effect do you think this has on pitching? Do you think it's reasonable to figure the increase in XBH cancels out the decrease in HR?
