Idea?

1. I'm pretty against GMs being able to move teams freely. I think once teams are moved it starts hurting the chances of getting new members since they don't have that connection with having the real team name. However, in the case Hokey (or anyone else with a realistic move proposition) I'd be willing to hear ideas. Like Peter said, a scott-free move would be a huge advantage to Hokey. In Hokey's case, I don't think he would have to pay $155M though. Mogul cash is nothing like real cash. Teams start out at, what, $10M in-game cash? We all know a real owner has more cash that than if his team would fall below the red line. I would think something like 2/3 or 3/4 of the real projected cost would be sufficient.

2. Puke! I hate what Bud Selig is doing to baseball. People are already over the novelty of interleague, so he's gonna make it happen more often? Plus I think for our case, I'm not sure if 2011 is equipped for this. In an old league where teams were allowed to propose league changes, this destroyed the schedule to the point where you'd have 1-game series, routinely having 20+ straight games, and randomly 2 or 3 days off in a row.

3. Another one that I hate. Look back at 2001. Oakland actually had the 2nd best record in the AL and were 17 games ahead of Minnesota, who was the #2 WC team. Under the new rules the AL could've been without a 100 win team in the playoffs all over 1 stupid game?
