Default Theoretical Expansion

If the MLB were to expand (although I think it's a bit stretched already), or if a team were to move, where should they move to? I'll list some cities with Major League Baseball history and some other possibilities. Some of the cities are currently probably too small/unable to support a major league baseball team.

Atlantic City - Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City
Dayton, OH - Dayton Marcos
Idianapolis - Indianapolis ABC's, Athletics, Clowns, and Hoosiers
Columbus, OH - Columbus Buckeyes and later Turfs
Toledo, OH - Toledo Tigers, Crawfords, Blue Stockings, and Maumees
Birmingham, AL - Birmingham Black Barons
Memphis, TN - Memphis Red Sox
Nashville, TN -Nashville Elite Giants
Louisville - Louisville White Sox and Black Caps (later moved to Columbus to become the Columbus Turfs), Buckeyes, Fall Citys, Grays, and Colonels
Darby, PA - Hilldale Club of Darby, Pennsylvania (later called the Daisies)
Harrisburg, PA - Harrisburg Giants (also parttime home of the St. Louis Stars)
Newark, NJ - Newark Stars, Dodgers, Eagles, and Peppers
Homestead, PA - Homestead Grays
Monroe, LA - Monroe Monarchs
Montgomery, AL - Montgomery Gray Sox
Buffalo, NY - Buffalo Bisons, Blues, and Buffeds
New Orleans, LA - parttime home of the St. Louis Stars
Jacksonville, FL - Jacksonville Red Caps
Portland, OR - Portland Roses
Fort Wayne, IND - Fort Wayne Kekiongas
Troy, NY - Troy Haymakers
Rockford, IL - Rockford Forest Citys
Middletown, CT - Middletown Mansfields
Elizabeth, NJ - Elizabeth Resolutes
Hartford, CT - Hartford Dark Blues
New Haven, CT - New Haven Elm Citys
Keokuk, Iowa - Keokuk Westerns
Montreal, Canada - Montreal Expos
Richmond, VA- Richmond Virginians
Rochester, NY - Rochester Broncos and Beau Brummels
Syracuse, NY - Syracuse Stars
Altoona (PA, I believe) - Altoona Unions
Wilmington, Delaware - Wilmington Quicksteps

Other candidates:
Las Vegas

Anyway, I was just wondering what cities you would put a team in if you could, whether through relocation or expansion. Feel free to add a city if you'd like, or if you relocate a team tell which team should be relocated.

Anyway, just curious as to what everyone thinks.
