Citi Field Wall Coming Down

Last year's home run drought is solved! The centerfield wall is being taken down from 16 feet to 8 feet for the 2010 season.  Obviously, a newly healthy lineup should do most of the improvement itself, but come on, it's half as high.  Home runs are going to flying everywhere now!  David Wright is going to be a 30 homer guy again now (I can't decide which way that sentence will jinx: pro-or-con for the Phillies).

Regardless, after last season I think we all knew that some stadium changes were coming.  Whether it was a moving wall or a shrinking one, something was going to change.  Right field couldn't be changed because, well, Chase Utley would never make an out at Citi field.  As far as the other two are concerned, I'm a little surprised that neither got moved in a little.  With near-DH Jason Bay playing left field and recently hobbled and aging centerfielder Carlos Beltran in the middle, either of those fields could've used a relocation.  But who am I to judge?
