I was at the Verlander masterpiece on Father's Day. The thing about Coors Field are its dimensions, not the humidor debate and the effect of altitude on starting pitchers. There is truth to the breaking ball but somehow its never mentioned related to Arizona or San Diego, depending whether its day or night. I've always suggested the Rockies find the baddest split finger/sinkerballer as Pitching Coach in AAA and make ecery prospect learn it.
Fowler is a disappointment according to most real Rockies fans. He's picked it up lately but I don't think he's a "product of Coors Field" more than he's a young kid still developing who hits better at home.
I can't wait until I hear Joey Votto's career described as being a product of Great American (or whatever it is) Ballpark, given its bandbox size and baseball leading HR tally, or Osh Hamilton's production in Texas minimized due to the plethora of new hitter-friendly parks.
