Or "Buckeyes" after the old minor league team, though that causes OSU issues maybe for you. Or "Jets", but that has football associations. I'd vote "Clippers".
2. Vancouver - bringing a 2nd MLB team to Canada
3. Charlotte - picked because of the obvious market fit
4. Portland - picked because it usually lands #1 on lists of realistic expansion candidates
5. Nashville - just rounding out my picks with "plausible" spots from LGO's list
6. San Antonio - see above

Thanks for participating
I chose "Generals" because I felt like Senators was too similar, and I just kind of like the name. The reason I didn't go with "Clippers" was because I've always thought that Clippers came from "Yankee Clipper" and Columbus' long-standing affiliation with the Yankees organization. Maybe that's not true? I will consider it if Columbus makes the top six!
