I like 8 divisions of 4 and HEAVY on divisional play. We're talking 30 games against the other 3 in your division, no interleague, 6 against the other 12 in your league. Really promotes rivalries, should help with the whole "weak division producing a losing record" thing (you're playing so many inside your division, one team is bound to take advantange of the weak division and at least have a winning record), and I'm a huge believer that if you can't even win your division you have no business playing for a title. Wild Cards are absolutely stupid.

I don't have a huge problem with 4x8, assuming the 4 champs are the only ones in the playoffs. But we all know MLB won't go for a major reduction in playoff schedule, so 8x4 is the more likely answer. Either that or we're going to get 3rd place teams in the playoffs more often. Yuck.
