Looking for a list of Hitter's Parks and PItcher's Parks? Look no further. Fantasy Baseball Xtreme moderator and contributor Dolemite put this list together… This kind of info will help you as you navigate through the early part of the 2010 fantasy baseball season. Trading for the right player in the right park could make that difference come season's end. Here we go!

Hitter’s Side

Many of these parks had at least 4 or more players hit 20+ home runs (Texas had six). Colorado, Texas, and the new Yankee stadium are the ones that jump out at me the most. Many Texas players can be had cheap, (e.g. Chris Davis assuming he can keep the strikeouts down) the same with Colorado. Ian Stewart is a 3b you can get in the later rounds that might produce similar to the middle tiers of third baseman. Carlos Gonzalez is a OF I wouldn’t mind reaching on since he bats half his games at Coors field, Dexter Fowler too. Keep in mind I’m not saying draft these people over proven studs who can hit anywhere. That being said, Jason Bay is one guy I would be wary of drafting due to his age and new home. Curtis Granderson may benefit from his new ballpark and lineup, but don’t take him too early as his averages throughout his career indicate it may not be that much of a difference. A #2 OF is where I still have him.

Pitcher’s Side

Remembering my statement about studs being able to pitch regardless of locale, here are some pitchers that may be helped or hindered by their parks. Jake Peavy is a guy that I think benefited from his home park (San Diego), and I don’t think moving to Chicago will help his numbers. K’s are what he’ll be good for. Brett Anderson is one of my sleepers this year due to his talent. Pitching in Oakland just sweetens the pot for him and Ben Sheets (going around pick 212 last I checked) this year. Clayton Kershaw is one guy I’d target for this year and going forward. John Lackey moved to a hitter’s park and a tougher division; don’t project his ceiling too high. The wins may come easy and K’s stay the same, but his averages could see a spike. Wandy Rodriguez pitches in Houston but his averages are actually worse AWAY from home. Don’t be scared off of Ubaldo Jimenez either just because of where he pitches, he could be a cheap ace for your team.
