Sorry for the tardy response, but just now seeing this post. The key is really knowing how winds react from certain directions in different parks. For instance, in old Candlestick you could have winds blowing in from left center which, on the surface sound like a good thing for pitchers. Yet those winds could swirl at home plate and be blowing out down the right field line.

I think under 10 MPH isn't going to affect most balls either way, speaking generally. Over 10 and you have to start thinking about them. If Jose Lima is on the mound, just think of the wind as blowing out at gale force
