Also got me thinking about spray hitters and how they play into park factors. Ichiro bats left, but he sprays it. I assume he gets a benefit from 1.1 LHB AVG. But because he sprays it, is he hurt by 0.9 RHB AVG? Or is the 1.1/0.9 coefficient just applied to the handedness of the batter? But then that would mitigate the park affects on batted balls that we've been talking about.

Think about it... Ichiro sprays it to LF in a 1.1 LHB AVG park. The LF goes: "Crap, the park factor gods are telling me this ball is harder to get to than a RHB ball hit to me. What do I do?"

There's so many moving parts to this.. hard to keep track of! I'll be able to run OOTP simulations at work in a couple weeks, haha. Maybe then I can figure something out.
