Miller is not a better ballpark for home runs, I know that for sure. I believe the Cell was the best home run park in the league last year, even over Coors. Plus, he'll be facing tougher pitches. Last year, he basically had one tough pitcher to face, Johan Santana. Now he'll go up against Mulder, Zamby, Prior, Wood, Maddux, Carpenter, Oswalt, Clemens, Pettite, Oliver Perez. Ouch.
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball. ~Jim Murray

Miller plays to 2b and 3b. Miller had a 90 hr index, 93 for RHB. US Cellular had a 131 hrs index (2nd highest), and a 140 RHB hr index (3rd highest).
Coors actually ranked 4th in hr index. Wrigley was 1st, US Cellular 2nd, The Bob 3rd, Citizens Bank tied for 4th.
I figured most everyone would go Lee. I'm going to be the lone Drew fan. I think Drews more talented. And he did have a better oba and slugging% then Lee, with Lee in US Cellular.
Did everyone pick Lee because they believe he's more talented, or simply afraid Drew gets hurt?
