Story here on changes to the dimensions at CitiField. They'll be pulling in the fences in left and the Modell's corner in right-center. Clearly the team wants a park that is marginally friendlier to hitters (still will be a pitcher's park, IMO), but as Sandy said, this will make for a park that is "more balanced."
Jason Bay definitely has the line of the article, though:
“I think cutting down the space in the outfield will help improve the defense, which in turn should help the pitching”
Allow me to paraphrase: "Since I'm too slow to chase long fly balls, the pitcher will be freed of the frustration of watching balls bounce over my head. Now they can just fly over the fence."
