It Is Time For A Division Shake-UP

I can not believe we have good teams not making the playoffs and possibly a mediocre team seeing October lights in their park. This is not the first year this has happened. It is a perennial problem. I know this is fantasy baseball, but I would hate to be a good team in the tough division. I know we all need a chance to make the playoffs, and hope for the future - hell I live outside of Chicago and the Cubs haven't won a world series in 100 years. I also know that I have made some pretty poor decisions with my team over the years. This is the first year I have a shot at 60 wins and better yet getting 2nd place in my division. But, that is also my point. Illinois might be a playoff team had they played in our division, yet they are 4th in the toughest NASBL DIVISION. It is not fair.

I think the divisions need to be shaken up. How can 4 of the best teams in the league can make up one division year in and year out surprises me. To be fair - I would think we take each team's last 3 years records, rank the teams 1 to 16, and then distribute the teams evenly. I know this is not the time for proposals to be sent in - but I hope each of you will consider it and weigh in your thoughts. I recommend the following:

Division 1 - Team 1, Team 16, Team 9, Team 8

Division 2 - Team 2, Team 15, Team 10, Team 7

Division 3 - Team 3, Team 14, Team 11, Team 6

Division 4 - Team 4, Team 13, Team 12, Team 5
