MLB Realignment

There is chatter about MLB realigning. I believe it’s a good idea should have happened a while ago. The simplest move is to send Houston the AL West. This would give each league 15 teams, all with 5 teams per division. Houston would get division games against rival Texas and it seems to make sense.

Divisions – There is a lot of talk about going back to two divisions per league or removing divisions all together. I’m not against those ideas at the moment but think three divisions of 5 teams would work just fine.

Interleague – The only thing I suggest is getting rid of the home and away series against your rival. Seeing the Mets vs. Yankees only 3 times a season certainly makes those games more interesting.

Playoffs – Never allow for more than four playoff teams per league. Period.

Conclusion – With Bud Selig still calling the shots, history tells us the logical move will probably not be implemented, so that’s what should worry everyone.
