While almost nobody is likely to recall this short-lived Fox Series, I'm loving this discussion.  It strikes at the very heart of my fav part of the game to watch -- the part no one can see -- what is going on inside a player's head.  Those voices inside the head can change a LOT of what happens externally.  Anyone who has watched Safeco destroy RH hitters has first-hand evidence of the way the park can dismantle a player (eventually both at home AND on the road).
With Kotchman, I still view his failure to thrive as more than 50% mental.  The way he responded to MOVING is my tell.  He completely tanked when traded to Atlanta, (but was fine when starting the following season with them).  He tanked even more dreadfully when moved to Boston in mid-season. 
So, while I definitely appreciate the argument, I don't necessarily buy into the park effects chopping Kotchman (specifically) down.  It takes TIME for a park effect to warp a hitter.  Kotchman's resume has him DOA in both Atlanta and Boston, (and then improving the next season with Atlanta).
