Winning at Coors? Topic

I've never tried playing in Coors before, but in a theme league I'm in, I must. So who can tell me how they've been able to win in Coors. Hitting obviously. But what about the pitching? Low HR/9? Low OAV? How many innings at $120 mil?

Actually I think it is pitching and defense, at least at $80M

pitching and defense would be my choice as well, and for 120mil i'd probably draft at least 1500 innings, probably closer to 1600 and that's assuming i had A+ defense.

I won at 120 mil in coors. i used 08joss and 12johnson and 95maddux i think. strong D up the middle and all 3 outfield. I think it was 56 mantle in cf? I also lost in the finals in the TOC

I rarely use Coors, but I've had some success in a 100M theme I'm in now (team won 89, enough for the wild card).

And you get some fun boxscores like this (the clinching game of the first round series):

Is it just you in Coors or is it an all-Coors league? if everybody is in coors you need even more PA and IP, you might need 1600 IP. if your road games are in average stadiums I'd go 1520-1550 IP. If it's a DH league add about 30 innings.

draft much like any other stadium, solid pitching good D and the best hitters you can fit. walks are slightly devalued. speed is devalued but it does have its place. some people overdraft HR for coors but I dont think that's the best play. keep your key fielders at 100% or else they will make more errors.

Just me in Coors. My 7th season in that theme (Random 5 X 5) and I hadn't won a WS yet so I decided to shake things up this time around with an extreme park.

I drafted 1486 innings/5738 PA, and made it to the playoffs with no fatigue issues at all.
