Houston or St. Louis could technically be considered WEST, at least enough to get things evened out. They switched teams and leagues a few times in the name of evening out the divisions, why this unevenness? Does anyone know anything about this?

Bud did not insist on moving the Brewers to NL - the Royals were given the first option and passed.
Unless you expand to 32 teams, the only way to have leagues with even number of teams and 3 divisions each is by using the breakdown that they have now - not perfect, but pretty good.
Only 1 team ever switched leagues - the Brewers.
Of course, you could also get rid of the Marlins and D-rays, move the Brewers back to the AL, and have it even at 28 teams - 14 in each division.

Um, idiot commissioner?
I've felt for a while that the Astros should move to the AL West. Who cares about Astros/Rangers a few times a year during inter-league, when they could play 19 times a year and draw that much more revenue for the two teams? Neither team has a "rival" in their respective leagues, and since Bud insisted on moving the Brewers to the NL Central for some unknown reason, the Astros seem the logical choice to me. But it'll never happen because of the commissioner.

First of all, Bud Selig is a total moron, second of all, moving an NL team, not to mention an NL Central team, the worst division in baseball, to the AL would like be putting an in house league team of 12 year olds against an International All Stars team of 17 year olds.

If MLB moves a NL central team to the AL west, then each league would have 15 teams..thus one team in each league would always be off...You can't have a even baseball schedule with 15 teams

Shintalk is right yet you besides might could bear in mind that in case you're a crappy team interior the AL west then you fairly could play extra video games against the three different communities. in case you're interior the NL crucial probability is you is unquestionably not the only crappy team.

There are several reasons, which by categories would be logistical, operational, financial, legal, compensatory, historical, and complicative.
Short form, it would create more problems than it would solve.
