2047 Winter Meetings Topic #1 - Minor League Park Dimensions

[shel311]

The reason for this poll is our minor leagues, particularly AAA, are completely out of whack due to field dimensions. Teams averaged nearly 6 runs per game. Just for example, 1 dude put up a slash of .311/.353/.460/.813, which in theory is pretty solid. HIs OPS+ was 96, meaning those numbers are below average in AAA. An example on the pitching end, 1 dude has an ERA of 5.01 but an ERA+ of 108.

It's really not good to try and get these almost ML ready pitchers up to AAA, but with the amount of homers being hit, it makes it tough to gauge their progress.

To make it easy on Corey(even though my proposal is still a lot of work for him), I propose that all stadiums in all minor league parks have dimensions that match our major league park. Easy peasy.

Can you fix your poll to let us change our vote?
I voted no by accident, but wanted to vote yes.

Since this seems like a runaway vote, everyone please be prepared to discuss how you will assist in this being as easy as possible to implement.

A lot of work is an understatement for 30 teams times 5 levels of minors to fix.

As mentioned, dibs on babysitting.

Just do one team per day and it will feel like nothing

[Uuaww]

Can we just get a spreadsheet thrown together for you ?

[shel311]

I don't even understand what's going on here. Can we edit our own dimensions?

If so, everyone has to do it by the 1st day of Spring Training. If it's not done or done correctly, they get fined.

Not sure if its as easy as checking a box

[x] allow all human managers to set dimensions of ballparks.

I hope it is, but doubtful.

This would be a great start.
