Oh, for crying out loud.
Sure, if you have a powerful lineup and/or a tiny ballpark that strikes fear in the hearts of your opponent, that might have a small impact on walks, but patient hitters can draw walks anywhere, because pitchers are not going to radically alter how they pitch from game to game. If you have a finesse guy he's always going to aim for the corners wherever he's pitching, and if you have a guy who throws 99 with movement, he's going to pump them into the strike zone regardless of ballpark.
