My best friend Mike is a Yankees fan and despite our differences we have been friends for well lets say the Mets were still good and the Yankees pitching staff was led by Andy Hawkins. Every now and then he sends me a question about the Mets. His questions are ver thought provoking, and I hope so are my answers.
Do during last nights Yankees game, Michael Kay was talking about some comments Jeff Franker (now on the Royals) made concerning Citi Field. Franker felt like the dimensions of Citi Field were ridiculous and they are hurting the careers of David Wright and Jason Bay. He suggested lowering the walls (in left field I believe) and moving the right center field wall in. Apparently FrancouerFrancouer said that Wright agrees with him. Do you think the dimensions help the Mets because their pitching is kind of shaky? Or do you think it hurts them because it makes it harder to score runs? - Mike
I think the dimensions of CF are great, for hitting doubles and triples. David Wright striking out on average more than once a game is hurting his career, he isn't a huge power hitter in the first place he shouldn't be aiming for the fences, Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder he is not. And if they move the fences in or down home runs will increase among opponents as well. The huge park is great for pitchers and Troy Tulowski - who has no problems hitting homers there.
Jeff Francouer Sucks.
