Trying to make sure I understand this information correctly.
Is the sole desire here to produce an approximately accurate run scoring environment for each ballpark (and hence league-wide)? Regardless of the statistical accuracy of each offensive category for each individual park?
Effect on individual player output? Should we expect, or not (for example) that an LH/fly ball/extreme pull hitter at Yankee Stadium (again, for example) would, or would not produce more homeruns than his actual statistical output at a different home field might?
Am I to understand that using a set of edited factors, the ballpark scoring environment cannot be expected to be accurate?
Previously, I understood that as long as each ballpark factor for the entire league totaled 1.0, the overall statistical outputs (league and stadium) should be reflective of the year/era, etc. Is this not, or no longer the case?
Are random factors like wind speed/direction, temperature having any affect on the outcome of a batted ball?
