Title: My MLB realignment plan
huskiesfan1990 - August 19, 2008 06:42 PM (GMT)
Back in 1998, when the D'Backs and Rays entered the league, MLB made the odd decision to move the Milwaukee Brewers into the NL Central, making it a 6 team division. I have a plan to realign the divisions, so they are of equal size.
1.Move Kansas City into the AL West:
This might sound odd, but Kansas City is the closest AL Central team to the West Coast, so you would have to move them. This would also make the AL West a 5 team division.
2. Move Milwaukee back into the AL Central:
They came from the AL, so it would only be natural to put them back into the AL. This would make the NL Central a 5 team division again.
And...you have 6 divisions of equal size!

You could stagger which teams play an interleague series and which teams play within their league.

Get rid of the DH and no one will care about interleague play.

Well the DH gives guys like Griffey and others to still play when they can't play the field anymore. Also slops like Ortiz a chance to play.

And it keeps Hank Steinbrenner happy.

Or the NL could catch up and adopt it.

I hope your not saying that playing the game the way it was invented is retarded.

Should I suppose you're opposed to all other changes as well? And no, I'm just saying you are, along with the OP too.

Why not just go back to a balanced schedule with the top four teams in each league making the playoffs?
