I'm looking at joining a $180mil league. Highest hr total in my lineup is 14 (01 Lajoie.) Team has total of 50 hr (league rules, so all teams will have that same restriction). Many, many doubles and decent triples + several over-200-hits-per-season players in my lineup. I'm thinking municipal stadium or palace of the fans to take advantage of the xbh minus the hr.

Should I focus pitching search on oav# or whip# . . . or something else?

With all of that in mind which of the two parks do you like? Or is there another?

I'd be looking at Municipal for sure. And the lower OAV the better. Don't worry too much about HR/9. A guy like Dutch Leonard or Russ Ford will be OK. (As OK as any pitcher can be at 180mil anyway).

There is some thought that ERA+ has some impact on XBH. I'm not sure how strong it is if it even exists.

XBHs are 80:20 hitter determined. ERA+ being the variable used from the pitching end.

if everyone in that theme builds a no-power team then these stadiums offer you no particular advantage over your opponents teams. you could play anywhere.
