I found this cool rating of parks which will ultimatly tell you which parks are hitters parks and which are pitchers parks. Dolphins stadium is the 4th-best pitchers park in the majors, only surpassed by PETCO, Camden Yards, and Dodger Stadium.

 

Top 5 hitters parks:

 

1. Coors Field

2. Bank One Ballpark

3. Rogers Centre

4. Busch Stadium

5. Turner Field

 

Check it out, I think it's pretty cool.

camden yards is not a pitchers park

Over the past 3 years, STATS Inc found Pro Player has a 96 factor for runs scored. 11 plus the defunct Qualcomm, Veterans and new Great American (yep) and Petco had park factors of 96 or lower.

 

Home runs are another story.

I prefer parks like Pro Player versus the parks where the ball flies out like Philly, Camden Yards, Cincy, etc

That's ridiculous, Camden Yards is a hitters' paradise, and where's Philly in the top-3 hitters' parks, or Cincy's "Great American SmallPark"? Philly's (and Cincy) are much more hitter friendly than Turner (which I'd consider neutral or pitcher friendly) and Busch, yet those two are in the top-5...

Why is Citizens Bank Park not in that list?

 

It's easily the best hitters park second only to Coors field, and ESPN doesn't even have it in their top 5? Ridiculous.

You guys are just thinking home runs.

 

This is runs in a whole.

 

Here's the list if you just use home runs:

 

1) Coors Field (OMG I'm SHOCKED)

2) U.S. Cellular Field

3) Ameriquest Field

4) Citizens Bank Park

5) Wrigley Field

6) BankOne Ballpark

7) Great American Ballpark

8) Oriole Park at Camden Yards

9) Rogers Centre

10) McAfee Colliseum

11) Dodger Stadium

12) Minute Maid Park

13) Miller Park

14) Yankee Stadium

15) Turner Field

16) Safeco Field

17) Angel Stadium of Anaheim

18) PNC Park

19) Fenway Park

20) Shea Stadium

21) Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome

22) Tropicana Field

23) Busch Stadium

24) Joe Robbie Stadium

25) Comerica Park

26) Jacobs Field

27) SBC Park

28) Kauffman Stadium

29) Petco Park

 

Note: RFK not included

The ESPN ones are also based on 1 month of stats.

Exactly: this is all based on numbers. Just like Clint Barmes' situation, wait 'til August for things to straighten out.

Bingo. Camden Yards is a pitcher's park right now because the Oriole pitchers are having a very solid month and a half. Wait for them to come back down to Earth.
