Article about a newly developed metric (PFHR+ - Park Factors for Home Runs). It looks at park factors (includes Comerica) and how it will impact certain players on new teams, including CJ Cron (below):

? Let?s address the elephant in the room. Cron?s move to Comerica Park is going to kill any power he has to centerfield. Not that Target Field was all that great for fly balls to centerfield but if you remember, Cron played for the Angels prior to 2018. We now know that Angels Stadium is a homer haven to centerfield. While Cron boosted his barrel rate and hard hit% in 2019, he?s trending in the wrong direction in terms of the percentage of pulled fly balls. His pulled FB% has dropped the last three seasons from 32.7% in 2017 to 24.2% last year. He?s going to want to adjust his approach back to the 2017 version of himself to take advantage of Comerica?s most favorable part of the park, left field. His range of outcomes in terms of home runs is huge. Fortunately, he should play every day because he?s basically the Tigers? best hitter (at worst, second-best). If his pulled fly ball rate continues to drop and his fly-ball rate to center jumps to 40%, he could end up with a home run total in the low-20s. If he gets back to his pull-heavy approach, I could see him reach 30 home runs with the potential for even more.?
 
Tigers left-hander Joey Wentz halted his live bullpen session Monday as a result of forearm soreness. Wentz brushed it off as fatigue, though it could still be worth monitoring going forward. After all, Wentz is one of the most promising arms in the Tigers? system. The 22-year-old joined the organization last July in a trade with the Braves centering on reliever Shane Greene. Wentz then finished the season in dominant fashion as a member of the Tigers? Double-A team, with which he pitched to a 2.10 ERA and put up 13.0 K/9 against 1.4 BB/9 across 25 2/3 innings.
