THT has run a couple of good articles about park factors that I linked to <b><a href="http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/mariners-sign-figgins/#comment-111928" rel="nofollow">here</a></b>, as well as <b><a href="http://gosu02.tripod.com/id103.html" rel="nofollow">this</a></b>; it's obviously early to be using New Yankee Stadium as a basis for anything, but fortunately we have several years of data for Matsui in the old stadium (and various others). We're really waiting on HitFX to give us definitive park factors, but in the meantime I'm looking forward to Fangraphs publishing the latest version of the <b><a href="http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/pitcher-win-values-explained-part-six" rel="nofollow">park factors</a></b> they're using, <b><a href="http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/what-is-wrc/#comment-113604" rel="nofollow">as Mr Appleman promised</a></b>. Personally, I expect Godzilla to take over from Vlad as the Mariner Killer for the Angels (especially in Safeco, with its short RF... though we also have the prospect of Ichiro running up the wall to take the odd one away from him too.... good times for both sides of the Pacific).

I've read and heard from multiple sources that they used to be pretty bunk, but I haven't kept up so maybe they've improved in the last year or two. How accurate are the ESPN Park Factors?
