Here's how I would have likely seeded the tournament, had the Astros and Brewers likely been placed in their proper leagues, I think:
American League:
1. Yankees
2. Red Sox
3. Tigers
4. Indians
5. White Sox
6. Athletics
7. Orioles/Browns
8. Twins/Senators
9. Negro League
10. Royals
11. Blue Jays
12. Rangers/Senators
13. Angels
14. Brewers
15. Mariners
16. Rays
National League:
1. Dodgers
2. Cardinals (Yes, many of you probably thought I'd say the Cards here, but the Dodgers are almost as titled in certain ways as the Cards are, if not more so)
3. Giants
4. Cubs
5. Braves
6. Reds
7. Phillies (But only barely over the next team)
8. Pirates
9. Mets
10. Nationals/Expos
11. Astros
12. Padres
13. 25-Under
14. Marlins (Only by virtue of their two titles)
15. Diamondbacks
16. Rockies
Here's how I think the matchups would have likely ended up, if teams were properly rostered:
Yankees beat Rays
Red Sox beat Mariners
Tigers beat Brewers (Although it would be close, if Yount and Molitor and others played well)
Indians beat Angels
White Sox beat Rangers/Senators
Blue Jays beat Athletics
Orioles/Browns beat Royals (But series close, most likely)
Negro League beats Twins/Senators
Dodgers beat Rockies
Cardinals beat Diamondbacks (But series close, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Giants beat Marlins
Cubs beat 25-Unders
Braves beat Padres
Astros beat Reds (But very close series, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Nationals/Expos beat Phillies
Pirates beat Mets
Yankees beat Negro League
Red Sox beat Orioles/Browns
Tigers beat Blue Jays
White Sox beat Indians
Dodgers beat Pirates (But series close, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Cardinals beat Nationals/Expos
Astros beat Giants (But series close, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Cubs beat Braves
Yankees beat White Sox
Tigers beat Red Sox (But series close, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Cubs beat Dodgers (But series close, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Cardinals beat Astros
Yankees beat Tigers
Cardinals beat Cubs (But series close, if teams rostered and managed properly)
Cardinals versus Yankees (Toss-up, but Yankees perhaps with a bit of an edge for the most part)
Just a few thoughts here, folks. Take them as you will or not. CD out.
