2011
2011 would bring what many think is the final set of expansion clubs
This expansion would also bring realignment to both leagues.
The Chicago Iron Pigs and Pittsburgh Miners were brought into the NL and the league realigned as follows:
NL East- New England, New York, Washington,
NL West- San Francisco, Fresno, San Diego, LA
NL Central- El Paso, Houston, Oklahoma, Chicago IP
NL South- Jacksonville, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Atlanta
In the AL it looked like this
AL East- Staten Island, Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn
AL West- Wyoming, Portland, Denver, Utah
AL Central- Detroit, Dallas, Chicago, Austin
AL South- Columbus, Charlotte, Cleveland, San Jose
A new award was added this year. The Trevor Hoffman award will go to the reliever with the best save total. 3 pts for a save, -3 for a blown save, 1.5 pts for a hold, 2 pts for a win, -2 pts for a loss.
