Everything I've read suggests the California League will stay at 8 for 8+10 Carolina + 12 FSL = 30 total High-A teams. The FSL numbers probably won't change, as they just play in the spring training ballparks, many of which are pretty nice. As for the Carolina, I wonder if the Waldorf folks made a pitch there. They've got the stadium already, and the owners have operated in the Carolina League before (used to own Frederick).
I think it was in the MASN thread (can't remember), but it was mentioned that the Nats tried to get ownership in the team or something like that. They put in the request for a farm team to be in Waldorf, but Angelos denied it. Oh well.
