No he wouldn't.  Walt Weiss didn't.

How would that make it normal?  It would cut down on HRs, but every other 
kind of hit would go up dramatically.  An outfielder can only cover so much 
ground, and a centerfield at 580 feet would lead to tremendously high levels 
of singles, doubles and triples.  Innings could go on forever.  The problem 
at Coors Field is not the dimensions, but rather the high altitude.  And 
there's nothing you can do about that.

Weak divisions?  What division do you think the world champion Marlins played 
in last year?  How about the year the Giants won 103 games and didn't make 
the playoffs?  Who do you think finished ahead of them? 
... Atlanta Braves - 1991, 1992, 1995 & 1996 National League Champions!
