Fantasy Power Watch

The Phills are moving their LF fence back and raising the wall:

“The Phillies are poised to remove the first two rows of seats in leftfield at Citizens Bank Park in hopes of making one of baseball's most notorious bandboxes more spacious. The net effect will be to move the fence back 5 feet and raise it from 8 to 10 ½ feet.”

This effectively lowers the HR potential of Burrell, Lieberthal, and Bell as well as the newly acquired Aaron Rowand, all right-handed hitters. It will probably affect the last three a lot more than Burrell. But the other side of that coin is that this move could help guys like Lieber, Lidle, and Padilla, but it will really help Randy Wolf and especially Gavin Floyd (check out his ERA at home).
