New League...proposal

If MLB decides to go with the universal DH then there is no point to extend the travel and mix everyone up.  Why not then minimize travel and fatigue of the players and make things easier?  Might as well.

You could throw everyone into one big league and then do some sort of top 8 teams in the league at the end get put into a bracket similar to NBA or college bracket and play from there.

The idea I think would be a major mix up to leagues and divisions but keep to that system.  Probably still call the Leagues American and National but the divisions within would have to change.  Here i'll delve into an example.

Still 3 divisions with the 2 wild cards...
Let's say we call this the National League...

Northeast division:

Boston Red Sox
New York Mets
New Yankees
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates

Atlantic Coast division:

Miami Marlins
Tampa Bay Rays
Atlanta Braves
Washington Nationals
Baltimore Orioles


Central division:

Toronto Blue Jays
Cleveland Indians
Cincinnati Reds
Detroit Tigers
Chicago White Sox

Then we'll get the American League:

Mid West Division:

Milwaukee Brewers
Chicago Cubs
St. Louis Cardinals
Kansas Royals
Minnesota Twins

South/West Division:

Texas Rangers
Houston Astros
Colorado Rockies
Arizona Diamondbacks
San Diego Padres

Pacific Coast Division:

Seattle Mariners
Oakland Athletics
San Francisco Giants
Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Angels

Of course some teams are on borders and are tougher to place such as Colorado.  East coast teams are tough to divy up.  But here's a rough layout of how they should do it cause whats the point of having teams travel so far when all the teams are playing the same with the DH and everything?

Let me know what you think
