It is not like the AL East have not had very bad teams like Baltimore for the first 3-4 years, Boston and Tampa on their rebuild. Every division has had their ups and downs. The NL Central is the only division that have had other teams rise to the top of the division with post season success.
I am not following your analogy of the NL West and AL East in real life in comparision to FCM. In real life the NL west have won 1 WS (SF '10) in the past 10 years and made 3 WS apperances (SF '02, '10 and Col '07) but the AL East have had 4 WS championships (NYY '00, '09 Boston '04, '07) in the last 10 years with 7 WS Apperances (NYY "00, '01, '03, '09, Boston '04, '07, Tampa '08). If anything this is shaping up to be very similar to our debate in FCM, in real life the AL East have been the best division in baseball because they have had the most success by different teams.
