Going to give the San Francisco Giants a go this leg...

I'm going to whack try the Padres this leg.

We didn't get the Twins this time, but we'll stay in the AL Central with the...

Kansas City Royals

nobody took the Phillies after their WS win? tempting but I need to mix it up. Red Sox slipped to the middle of the pack I'll take them.

Colorado Rockies

Oh good. I was just thinking to myself how much I needed rbow in my division this season;-)

I'll sitemail specsman and Chisock to remind them about their picks.

Reds, please

Interesting division alignment situation...

Option 1 deleted (doesn't make sense)

Or is it more important to get East/West right at the expense of AL/NL?

NL East
Atlanta
NY Mets
Mon/Wash
Philadelphia

NL Central
St. Louis
Chicago
Cincinnati
Kansas City

NL West
Los Angeles
San Francisco
San Diego
Arizona or Colorado

AL East
NY Yankees
Boston
Baltimore
Toronto

AL Central
Minnesota
Detroit
Chicago
Cleveland

AL West
Oakland
Texas
Houston
Arizona or Colorado

OK - so here's a third option, keeping the AL and NL together, but having a couple of teams playing outside their time zone. Option 2 or 3 seems to be the best choice. It's up to the commissioner.

NL East
Atlanta
NY Mets
Mon/Wash
Philadelphia

NL Central
St. Louis
Chicago
Cincinnati
Colorado

NL West
Los Angeles
San Francisco
San Diego
Arizona

AL East
NY Yankees
Boston
Baltimore
Toronto

AL Central
Minnesota
Detroit
Chicago
Cleveland

AL West
Oakland
Texas
Houston
Kansas City

I think the easiest thing to do is to move one of Arizona/Colorado into the NL Central and then one of Minnesota/Kansas City from the AL Central into the AL West.

[Edit] Another option would be to move Arizona to the AL West (which has been done previously) and then move one of the AL Central clubs into the NL Central.

As the Twins this time around, we would strongly object to moving out of the AL Central!!!

Always best to ask for volunteers...

I think I like the last option the best. Colorado in the central isn't that much of a stretch. Not like it's a west coast team.
