Big Dawg's Survey: Baseball Realignment
Please read before making your choice:
Plan A:
1. Radical realignment. Fifteen teams switch leagues and three-division format is scrapped for 14-team AL and 16-team NL.
2. Heavily centered around geographical rivalries.
3. Playoff format undecided -- division winners and two wild cards that will be either second-place teams or the two next-best records.

Plan B:
1. Only five teams switch leagues. 16-team AL and 14-team NL with unbalanced divisions.
2. Matches Oakland and SF, Pit. and Phila., Cin. and Cle, Houston and Texas, KC and St. Louis, Toronto and Montreal.
3. Playoff format remains the same -- three division winners and one wild card.
Plan C:
1. Same as now with Tampa Bay joining AL West and Arizona NL West.
Plan D:
1. Only two teams switch leagues (Kansas City and Houston) and only Detroit switches divisions.
2. Keeps Arizona in NL West and puts Tampa Bay in AL East instead of AL West.
Another alternate:
1. None of the above make me happy.
Does not matter:
1. Regardless of the alignment, any change is good for baseball.
Do not care:
1. I don't care. I don't follow/like baseball
