Making a determination on the fences in Petco based on the lineups the Padres have put out there over the past few years somewhat stacks the deck in favor of moving them in. When you strike out more than any other team, that team could play in Willamsburg and it wouldn't matter. Of course, as I write this they are putting up crazy numbers in Wrigley. Perhaps what Petco needs are big fans blowing from behind home plate. I'd rather see a team with legitimate offensive firepower play 81 games in Petco and then judge whether the fences are an issue.

At least with a 2-1 game in the 7th, the Padres have a chance. But when it's 12-5? Sure it does. But it doesn't give an advantage to either team.
