What surprises me about this thread is the number of people who insist a short series has significance, some, amazingly, arguing several short series are more significant than a 162 game season.

Yet those who say that seem to understand sample size in other contexts. I don't see them posting complaining that their AAA SS called up to cover an injury is hitting .380 after a month or that their ace starter has a 6.50 ERA in May.

I want four divisions with only the winners going to the post season. I don't see how that could not be discerned.

Like everyone who starts a thread, I wanted this one to be popular. So I'm grateful for all who contributed to its success.
The chance of my Tigers winning 6 World Series in a row is probably greater than the chance of Major League Baseball ever going back to a 4 division format with only the winners going to the post season.
