Reddog's point got me to thinkin' about what I consider a pretty interesting topic - how division alignment could be shuffled to make six divisions of five teams. I agree it is dumb to have four teams in the AL West and six in the NL Central. So how would you fix it? My thoughts:
1. Move Kansas City from the AL Central to the AL West
2. Switch Milwaukee back to an AL team
Resulting in:
AL West:
LAA, TEX, SEA, OAK, KC
AL Central:
MIN, CHW, CLE, DET, MIL
AL East:
NYY, BOS, TOR, BAL, TB
NL West:
LAD, ARI, COL, SF, SD
NL Central:
STL, CHC, PIT, HOU, CIN
NL East:
NYM, PHI, FLA, WAS, ATL
This seems to make the most sense geographically. I also considered moving Houston to the AL West, but I think it makes more sense to have both an AL and NL team in Texas.

Why not just move the Cardinals the to AL west. Only one team needs to move that way.
MLB would never do that since it would break up the Cubs Cards rivalry.
Maybe, but it makes the most sense I think.
The Cardinals would not be down for moving to the AL.
KC is already in the AL and MIL was originally an AL team. With all their homerun hitters, they'd probably prefer it.
I don't think it matters if the team would prefer it or not. Its up to MLB, not the teams.
besides naps, you just want another shitty team in the AL west so the angels can keep rollin. I'd prefer not to have another team in the AL central that can slug the shit out of the ball (Tigers, Sox, Brewers) Those three teams murder the ball.
six years ago you would have been fine with having the brewers, tigers, and white sox in your division and not wanted to play against the A's or mariners. it goes in cycles. quit whining about not wanting to play certain teams more.
it is actually not upto MLB. Once a team has spent 15 years in a league, they have to OK a league switch.
i feel it is easiest to switch the astros to the AL west. it creates a natural rivalry with the rangers, one that the AL west doesn't really have. It is also the furthest west NL Central team. However, Drayton McLane opposes this idea. More like Drayton McLame.
I guess we were dead on with MLB. At least with our timing...

Riot, that article was written in 1997. Dummy
