Maybe, but outside of Milwaukee on a good day (for them), the offenses in the NL Central are almost as limited without being in pitcher's parks.
Seriously, the Reds may have the 2nd best offense in the division. Pittsburgh, STL (Pujols), Houston (Carlos Lee) and Chicago (Soriano) are all one-trick ponies most days and Pittsburgh's best hitter hit .246 last year.

Baseball notebook: Reds add Fogg's arm
Friday, February 22, 2008 3:04 AM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Right-hander Josh Fogg agreed yesterday to a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds, who are trying to fill out their rotation.
Fogg, 31, will get a chance to win a spot in a rotation that is in flux after right-handers Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo. Matt Belisle, Homer Bailey and Edinson Volquez are competing for jobs.

"This is the place I want to be," Fogg said. "I know some guys here. I played with (catcher) David Ross in college. I thought this was the best chance I had to help a club."

Fogg had a 4.94 ERA last year while pitching at Coors half the year. He also pitched about 165 innings too. He had a 5.97 ERA at Coors and a 4.15 on the road.
Like I said, given were the Reds are both with the big team and seemingly what they have in the minors, this is a steal right now assuming he pitches at all this year.

IIRC, GABP is still less of a hitters park than Coors. I don't have the stats at hand but I recall being a shocked the last time I looked and saw how close to neutral GABP was.
I still think a lot of the Coors east rep GABP gets comes from having such consistenly [censored]ty pitching from us and consistenly strong offenses from the Reds and, up untill recently, the NL central as a whole.

Baker: Room to improve
BY JOHN FAY | JFAY@ENQUIRER.COM
Sarasota, Fla. Reds manager Dusty Baker spent a good part of the Thursday's workout on the mini-tower in the middle of the four backfields at Ed Smith Stadium.
He spent a lot of time taking notes. He liked what he saw for the most part.
?There are a few things I?ve got to address," Baker said. "We?re doing good but we can put a little more game effort into these fundamentals and drills."

Reds notebook
Wilson out of camp; Baker says no reason to go slow with Bruce
BY JOHN FAY | JFAY@ENQUIRER.COM
SARASOTA, Fla. - Craig Wilson, an outfielder and first baseman, is no longer in camp with the Reds.
Wilson, who was in camp Wednesday, apparently failed his physical. He had signed a minor-league deal with the Reds.
The Reds did not say why Wilson failed the physical and were non-committal about a possible return.
