That means that the pitching is probably a little bit better than it looks on the surface, but the offense is even worse. Bad news for guys like Maxwell and DeLaughter.</p> <p>Scot.</p> I don’t have the 2006 park factors, but for 2003-2005 Vermont has played as a pretty good hitters park in the NY Penn league (park factors from BTF, at http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/oracle/discussion/34611/).
