While there are short-season leagues with clubs on the ample (crowded) Northeast Seaboard in the form of the New York-Penn League, and the Northwest League, there's no A-ball in the Southwest.
Should I call it the Southwest League then ?
Let's have something out west by the time MLB expands in the range of 40 or so big league clubs. As it stands, there are plenty of fields and stands in Cactus League Arizona and the Phoenix region. And of course given the presence of such Spring Training facilities and the Pecos League, there's not necessarily a need to build more, although accommodating updates to existing ballpark structures is welcome.
Just whipped up a dozen baseball squads from California, AZ and to New Mexico
Phoenix FireArizona Force
Tempe Turtles
Tucson Talls (Cacti)
El Paso Pythons
Southern Cali Poseidons
North Cali Nomads
Arizona Rangers (they could be a travel team or pick your stadium)
San Diego County Syndicate
Santa Fe Deputies
Albuquerque 'Hands (Ranch hands)
Expansion could include stadiums built and/or revamped for the Imperial County Kings, California Bajas, Tijuana Juanas, Nuevo Laredo Intercontinentals.
