I’m kidding. I’ve been waffling if I’m being honest but the podcast wave we have had the last few seasons is keeping me trapped here. Plus Fred would hunt me down if I left.

On a more serious note, 4 expansion teams. One in each division giving us even numbers and kill interleague for the love of god.

Glad to hear it. I think it's well established that we disagree on just about everything - I'll try to save you some headaches and not to revisit the subject too much in the near future.

I could get behind eliminating inter league;

and if Stever is coming to the Heartland, I'll stay with the Sluggers

Finally,

some REAL competition

If we have four serious GM's then expansion would probably help several elements of the league...four more teams would soak up more of our talent glut...removing interleague might help the schedule weirdness, though I'm not sure of that.

With Huntsville's vacancy, we need five (*). But you get the idea...

Well, we've gotten an influx of applicants lately. At least one with BBA experience in Nigel and it seems like the others have OOTP experience. Not a bad time to consider it if that's the direction we are going.

Adding these new guys waters down the player pool and GM pool

Two leagues, with two divisions of 8 teams each. Schedule:

Your Division: 7 teams x 14 games each (98 games, 2 home and away 3 game series and 4 game series each)
Other Division: 8 teams x 8 games each (64 games, 1 home and away 4 game series each)

Total of 162 games...

just removing interleague without adding any teams would do wonders for the schedule.

Don't get too excited. You know he's just here spreading his germs, which is why he led with a cough.

This is true, too.

If we have the dedicated GMs, then expansion helps with both talent and the schedule.
