Angels Say No To Holliday

[love_that_reefer]

Last I checked Holliday hit in Coors last year and still hit just 25 HRs.

Fenway Park's typical park factor for hitters: 105

PNC and Oakland are around 98

Coors since the humdior = 109.

Bay hit 31 combined last season (22 in PIT, 9 in BOS)

Over the life of there careers they are about the same. Bay has slightly more power and Holliday hits for better average. Park Factors and protection aside.

The humidor doesn't have that much of an effect. The Rockies are keeping the balls at 40 percent humidity. Denver air is typically 10 percent or lower. Baseball Prospectus estimated that the 30 percent difference in humidity produces about just 9 feet reduction in distance of a ball. It also doesn't help them to store the ball at high temperature. You want a cold, dead ball.

The Park Factors were at 122 before the Humidor, 109 after.

Just the result of having hitters who hit well both at home and on the road and acquiring pitchers unlike Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle, who rely on deception and nibbling the corners for strikes.
