is there going to be another expansion baseball team in mlb, in another 5 to 10 years?

No way!  Tampa Bay is hurting.  The Nationals are already looking bad in interest.  Florida puts garbage out there for their fans.  Don't forget that elimination that Selig was planning a couple years ago.  No, baseball will lose teams before expanding.

There's already been a lot of speculation about a new franchise starting up, or moving to Las Vegas.  While I live in NJ, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for a major league team.  There is a booming population there and they would have plenty of filled seats from hotels buying packages of seats and giving them to their high rollers.  From a business standpoint, it is the best possible option.

The Indians were legit last year. Even though they lost Millwood, Elarton and Howry, they should still be a very good young team. Travis Hafner is quite possibly the strongest guy in baseball right now. I dunno if they have enough to beat the White Sox this year, but definately in the next few years.

Nope...they wont win their division for the first time in about 13 years...wont make it as a wild card...nope, not this year...

No they have the St. Louis Cardinals in the division even without pujols. Derrek Lee and Mark Prior are great additions but the Cubs won't have a chance this year.

In the baseball business, you just never know!!! Maybe they will dump hm and trade for a shortstop OR look into free agency as a solution.\n\nChow!!

I don't think so.  In the case with the Angels they have a pile of money burning a hole in their pockets.  They have been unsuccessful the last couple of years trying to sign some big money players (Konerko, Soriano, etc).  The beneficiary of this love was Matthews, but check his lifetime stats.  He's had one good season, last year in a hitters park.  While he is a decent player, no way in hell he is a $10 million per year guy.  The Angels probably needed a bigger bat for their punchless lineup.

There is talk of them signing one of the Alex Gonzalez's, which one I am not sure.  Probably the one who was with the Marlins the past few years.

I hope so. I'm a die hard Redsox fan. But their line-up isn't as good as it was in 2004. They just have to work as a team and work hard and win. Thats all it takes right?

Yes, the A-League would like to expand, however, it would require teams that can go the distance and not dissapear owing to lack of finances in a few years.

you make me laugh...no really thats funny\nhaha\nha ha\nhahahahahahaha\n\nnot a chance in hell my freind to many good teams out there and even if by some fluke they beat out the AL and get to the world series the NL aint to shabby this year you got the mets the astros the cubs(i know i know the curse)but my point is way to many teams that have bigger names and better teams. but hey theres always hope right look at the marlins they cae through it 97 and 03 and 97 was a good team but 03 i mean who expected that honestly i didnt and im a marlins fan. lol every1 thought they get it last year and they threw it away in the last month (sigh) stupid fish need to become sharks and get some teritory of there own(AKA there own stadium).

Actually they have a pretty good team this year with sheets, turnbow, and c lee.  I can see them making a run at it this year but the cards are way to strong.  I bet in the next 2 to three years the be in it.

not far. the offense relies on Lee and Ramirez. they need more backup to get more runs and win more games. don't expect a championship anytime soon.

I think things are looking up for the Pirates, with the hiring of Jim Tracy and the signings of Jack Wilson and Jason Bay to long-term contracts.  But, I'd be lying if I said I thought they would win a World Series soon.  I think a more reachable goal is .500, which after 13 losing seasons, would be a good thing.\nIn response to the answer given by rhinoloco3000, I care for the Pirates, and I am not the only one.  Over 1.8 million people attended their games at PNC Park last season, which was an increase of .2 million over 2004's figure.  Ticket sales are on track to be even higher this season.

They should be better this year, with more speed and better pitching staffs.  But they would probably still finish last in AL west.  Athletics, Angels and Rangers are still better teams.

YANKEES!!? HA! you'r kidding me guys... the Mets are doing a hell of a job and I think they can pose as a serious threat.. Hopefully it doesn't mean that they'll end up in a race spending as much money as the team from the Bronx does.

No the won't make the playoffs this year, but they are much improved.  They won't finish last, hopefully the Cubs will do that, lol!  I am a White Sox fan, so I hate the Cubs!
