※ 引述《Zamned (扎姆德)》之銘言： : The ownership change of the Astros has been hanging in the balance for : months, as Jim Crane is awaiting approval to buy the franchise from Drayton : McLane. Wednesday, Peter Gammons of MLB Network reported that the change is : expected to be made in November. OK, that's fine. Not overly newsworthy, : really. But then, Gammons added something that very much does matter, for all : of baseball. The Astros are expected to be moved to the American League. : This has been rumored for some time, but never really reported as something : that will definitely happen. Numerically, the move makes sense. The National : League has 16 teams; the American League 14. The NL Central has six; the AL : West four. Moving the Astros to the AL West makes sense, and they would have : a natural division rivalry with the Texas Rangers -- albeit very lopsided in : the present. : But look a bit deeper, and the move means the entire face of baseball is : changing. With 15 teams in each league, that means there will be interleague : play throughout the season. This also points to Bud Selig's plan of expanded : playoffs coming to fruition as well, because there's no better time to do so : than when there's already a big change. From there, I would hope that the : league would look into making the designated hitter rule uniform -- meaning : either both or neither league uses it. I've argued in the past this needs to : happen. : Stay tuned, but if this report is accurate, baseball is about to undergo : major logistical changes. Also, don't expect the move to be made quickly : enough to have it in place for 2012. The most likely outcome is the Astros : move and the playoffs expand before 2013. : http://eye-on-baseball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22297882/32677866 標準的標題殺人法其實現在情況非常撲朔迷離而且全部是Selig一手造成的太色人的現任老闆Drayton McLane從08年開始就嚷著要賣球隊然後當地商人Jim Crane組成了一個團隊投標成功他過去也有參與遊騎兵隊的競標只是輸給Ryan和Greenberg 後來他用680百萬鎂得標了於是今年大約五月的時候McLane就開了一個記者會向媒體介紹可能的下一任老闆但是一般來說MLB高層不太喜歡這種先行公開的作法所以Selig就不太爽要當老闆不是說得標、契約簽一簽就行了還要通過MLB高層和其他老闆的一致同意結果呢五月之後拖到現在還是沒有人知道到底會不會換老闆因為Selig到現在還在"審查"Crane的資格有沒有問題(他有不少不太好看的經歷題外話啦) 其實這些經歷什麼的本來其他老闆們沒個意見 Selig草草弄過也就算了但是偏偏他最近正在搞他兩聯盟各15支隊伍的春秋大業這時竟然有一支落後聯盟的球隊現任老闆嚷著不幹要換新老闆他當然不會放過這次機會所以Selig做了什麼呢？對他拿轉換聯盟作為通過Crane審查的要求之一 (這大概是8月左右的事情) 結果Crane當然很不爽啊就算過去不太白好好地要買一支球隊(試了第三次包括小熊和遊騎兵)還要被這樣搞所以前一陣子他就放話說Selig惹火他他很不爽不爽就不要買了 (其實Crane到最後好像有妥協但是Selig就是不給過誰知道他葫蘆裡賣啥藥) 大概九月的時候2012的賽程就出來了那Astros當然還是會在NL 老闆也還是同一個人一樣不肯出錢所以明年會比今年更難看上看110敗(咦) 如果真的換聯盟還得花錢買DH(平均好像是8M左右？) 所以老闆會不會是Crane？不知道聽說McLane又開始檢閱他的候選人口袋名單所以Astros會不會轉換到AL？我會說會因為只要Selig想做的幾乎最後都會定案大家都記得Bud Selig在1993年做的其中一件事：Switch the Brewers from AL to NL 現在既然他嫌AL隊伍少一支那我很誠懇的希望他把酒人移回去我們在地深耕快50年還是在地最久的職業球隊雖然沒像Texans那麼猛但是球迷不離不棄還是有點票房的 (好啦其實Texans也沒很猛) 這不是Selig第一次欺負太色人如果還有人記得的話上一次是08年Ike颶風來的時候 Selig大大要求太色人到Milwaukee去打主場三連戰對上Cubbies 結果我們三連敗也輸掉了外卡爭奪戰怎一幹字可言 (有興趣的人可以到Houston Chronicle的Ultimate Astros去閱讀Zachary Levine的一系列文章他有在詳細的follow整個過程) 題外話：前一陣子有乳摸說Rays的Friedman要過來這邊做GM 而且他很樂意這樣做(他是當地人) 前幾天他似乎說他現在在Tampa Bay過爽爽不想來了... 老闆不換教練團留任 GM也還在... 補註：如果換到AL去就會有基襪來幫忙衝票房這大概是唯一的好處 -- Selig sucks. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.7.214
