The real problem, of course, is that you need 10 teams in the West but only have 8 teams in the Pacific and Mountain time zones. So 2 teams in the Central or Eastern time zones have to be shoehorned into the West, and none of them want to be there. My favorite solution is to take two natural rivals and put them both in the AL West along with the 3 teams which are actually on the West Coast. Using Houston and Texas (plan B) really overloads the AL West and forces Houston to change leagues. My personal favorite:
AL East: Baltimore, Boston, Yankees, Tampa Bay, Detroit
AL Central: Cleveland, White Sox, Minnesota, Kansas City, Texas
AL West: Anaheim, Oakland, Seattle, Toronto, Montreal
NL East: Florida, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Mets, Pittsburgh
NL Central: Milwaukee, Cubs, St. Louis, Houston, Cincinnati
NL West: Los Angeles, San Diego, Arizona, Colorado, San Francisco
