It's time to expand

[Derwood]

Okay, how about this:

NL West: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Colorado, Miami, Washington, Houston, Arizona

NL East: New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee

AL West: Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Kansas City, Texas, Minnesota, Chicago, expansion

AL East: New York, Boston, Toronto, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Cleveland, expansion

Cleveland or Chicago can flip to the other division depending on where the expansions go.

84 divisional games (12 x 7)

64 opposite division games (8 x 8)

14 interleague games (6 with rival, 4 at home, 4 away against two other teams)

 

no to bad geography

with Angel Berroa, Tony Pena Jr. and Luis Rivas getting regular at bats, I'm not sure I can stomach the idea of further talent dilution

Just put the Cubs, Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers in the same division. So ESPN doesnt have to bother with the rest of the MLB.

 

 

 

Just a thought, but at 200M a piece soon, that would make for a spending war. The union would love it.

 

Actually, I kid.. I think they could move one of the expansion teams to the AL. Arizona or Colorado really have no business in the NL. Milwaukee actually has long roots in the NL and championships. Now the cubs.... well, it's been a while but it might happen soon...
