Rule V Leg #62 Draft Thread Topic

Divisions going to be weird, depending on what dilli ultimately picks.

Astros to the NL West and then slide an AL Central team to the AL West with Rays in the AL Central again?

Hoping dilli picks a NL West team but definitely pushing the Astros to the NL West, and likely Rays to the AL Central again with the Royals to the AL West (similar to last season except Angels instead of the Rangers).

Something like...?
NL East
Tampa Bay Rays
New York Mets
Montreal Expos
Philadelphia Phillies

NL Central
St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee Brewers
Cincinnati Reds
Pittsburgh Pirates

NL West
Los Angeles Dodgers
Arizona Diamondbacks
Houston Astros
Atlanta Braves

AL East
New York Yankees
Boston Red Sox
Baltimore Orioles
Toronto Blue Jays

AL Central
Cleveland Indians
Minnesota Twins
Chicago White Sox
Detroit Tigers

AL West
Oakland A’s
Seattle Mariners
Los Angeles Angels
Kansas City Royals

Pulling on Braves' history in NL West way back when to achieve this, but it makes more sense than some of the alternatives.

Moving as few teams as possible seems the easiest. Something like KC/Minnesota to the NLW, and the Rays to the ALC.

That works

Actually going by precedence, back in leg #58, the Rays moved to the NL Central and Reds went into the NL West. Finally move the Royals into the AL West which occurs about half the time anyway.

Yeah, the Rays get moved a lot, so let's go with this. The NL is going to be goofy no matter what we do.

I found that interesting, too, ff09.

Looks like I need just one more set of keepers.

Make them roster Buddy Biancalana for being last.

Since it's the Mariners, we'll force him to use Maury Wills as his manager...

Haha please no. I sent them in.

Let face it, the Tampa Bay Rays don't get moved alot... they get moved EVERYTIME. In the last 18 legs (since #44), they've been used 7 times:

Twice they moved to the NL Central, on five occasions to the AL Central and used ZERO times in the AL East (including 1 leg where there were only FOUR AL East teams to begin with).

Let's just admit they aren't an AL East team at this point.
