<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 353px"><img src="http://baseballsimulator.com/images/griffith-stadium.jpg" alt="Griffith Stadium" width="343" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Griffith Stadium</p></div>
<p>I was browsing the <a href="http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/ballparks.html?pool_id=201" target="_blank">ballparks</a> for the ATG4 player set and Griffith Stadium &#8217;41 caught my eye.  The is the only ballpark with zero ballpark home runs from both sides.  I decided to browse the pitchers from this set and came up with 9 pitchers that may fit well in a ballpark such as Griffth Stadium:</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=31937&amp;year=1986&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">1.  John Cerutti</a> <strong>$1.23M</strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> (BP &#8211; 5 vs L, 6 vs R)</span><br />
I couldn&#8217;t find any pitcher under 1M worth considering.  John Cerutti at $1.54 was the first bargain found.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=30481&amp;year=1984&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">2.  Floyd Bannister</a> <strong>$1.54M</strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> (BP &#8211; 6 vs L, 5 vs R)</span><br />
Cerutti&#8217;s card may be a little better than Bannister but Bannister only needs 3 days rest between starts.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=38916&amp;year=1977&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">3.  Fred Norman</a> <strong>$1.76M</strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> (BP &#8211; 7 vs L, 4 vs R)</span><br />
This reverse lefty may be worth considering but he does allow quite a bit of triples against left-handed batters.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=38148&amp;year=1965&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">4.  Jim Merritt</a> <strong>$2.27M</strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> (BP &#8211; 0 vs L, 8 vs R)</span><br />
I&#8217;m wondering how often this pitcher is chosen.  Looks like a good card.  He has 91% out chances against left-handed batters.   8 ballpark diamonds from the right side ideal for a pitcher&#8217;s park.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=39875&amp;year=1961&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">5.  Pedro Ramos</a> <strong>$2.33M</strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">(BP &#8211; 7 vs L, 3 vs R)</span><br />
He was 11-20 in 1961 with Minnesota.  I wonder how he would fare in Griffith Stadium.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=35759&amp;year=1992&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">6.  Bruce Hurst</a> <strong>$2.41M</strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">(BP &#8211; 8 vs L, 1 vs R)</span><br />
Here&#8217;s another reverse lefty.  His low double and triple chances are excellent.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=42877&amp;year=1987&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">7.  Ed Whitson</a> <strong>$2.89M</strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> (BP &#8211; 3 vs L, 8 vs R)</span><br />
He can work on only 3 days rest.  Doesn&#8217;t give up and singles against- right handed batters but all other chances are extra base hits.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=40802&amp;year=1985&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">8.  Mike Scott</a> <strong>$3.2M</strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">(BP &#8211; 0 vs L, 8 vs R)</span><br />
This reverse righty must be hard to get.  81% out chances against left-handed batters.  Most of his safe chances are walks which is something to look for in a starting pitcher.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:openWindow('http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=31445&amp;year=1986&amp;pool=201',%20'_blank',%20650,%20850,%20'scrollbars=yes')">9.  Tom Browning</a> <strong>$3.39M</strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">(BP &#8211; 4 vs L, 3 vs R)</span><br />
Looks like a decent card.  He has low bk and wp numbers and a -2 hold.</p>
