Or have some defensive wizards to sort of shore up your weakness. My experimental team has no defense and that is a problem for Bronze, which I am happy with cuz I don't want to go to silver while I am experimenting, but not for you if you want to win.
If you don't have elite all-around batters, might as well stick to a more specialized ballpark. You will win more that way, albeit with less PP gain, I guess.
Edit: All my pitchers are stuff-based and the best of them have 800-1000 from the K-related and LOB achievements. In theory, I think a team made up of great MOV + CON pitchers, great defensive fielders who can hit for contacts and such can earn fair amount of PP. You just need to get a lot of the perfect games, Maddux and that kind of achievements. The great contact hitters and defensive wizards can generate okay PP from batting and might net you some defensive achievements like DP and such.
I think your pitchers have to be stuff-based to get PP in an offensive park because the only huge ballpark factor that affect stuff-based pitcher is AVG. I assume Double and Triple are related AVG as well, like you need to connect with the ball for a chance to get a double or triple. So the only thing that is blocking a pitcher from getting a K is the 1.1 AVG. Other than that, he just needs to K enough batters. Heck, the 1.1 AVG might actually help that, cuz your outs are more likely to be Ks. With defensive liabilities around the board and offensive ballpark, the chance of a non-Ks out is lowered. On the other hand, MOV and CON pitchers rely on low scoring games to earn PP, and will do horribly in the PP generating department in an offensive park. Still, if you want to win, I am sure MOV and CON pitchers are better than stuff only pitcher. Stuff only pitchers are just jokes in PT, with no value to a winning team IMO. All-around pitchers are great though.

I am using your system on my silver non-OL team for excellent results. My Lefty Gomez in the last 3 seasons has pulled in 7400PP himself. Granted, 4k of it was on 2 achievements. 2500 for hi-def inning and 1500 for something else which I can't remember off the top of my head.
He has by far the most PP generation of any pitcher I have. Paul Dean is doing pretty decent as well with almost 3k in just under 2 seasons and all that PP generation is in a fully maxed offensive(1.100 AVG, 1.100 HR) park. Although XBH are set at 1.200 because there's not a ton of speed on the team.
Granted, I'm hovering in the .500-.550 range, but my PP generation has skyrocketed from 2-3k/season to averaging more than 7.5k/season, with most seasons approaching 10k+.
