What kind of process goes into relocating an MLB team?

Put more directly: Will my dream of the Cleveland Indians being moved to Montreal ever bear fruit?

So Miggy is up to 34 doubles. Some people are saying he might reach 60 this year. From what I've read, this seems like it'd be a pretty big deal. How much of an accomplishment would that be relatively to the other stuff he's done? Does he have any kind of shot at breaking 67?

Also is there anything to the notion that a player would intentionally hit doubles to keep the opposing team constantly pitching in traffic or is a player pretty much gonna always hit home runs if they can. I ask cause I'm curious if Miggy is intentionally hitting more doubles or if his power is starting to drop.

What positions does the most offense typically come from and what positions are typically more like "eh he catches the ball good, who cares if he's no good at the plate."

My assumption is something like:
Offense: 1B, 2B, COF, DH (in :911: league)
Defense: CF, C, SS, 3B

Or is it just that every team does what they can with the players they can acquire and there's no trend?

What dictates whether the shortstop or second baseman goes to second base to try and tag out a runner attempting to steal?

So did Yusmerio Petit throw a perfect game and I just didn't hear about it? How did he get this 46 straight outs record?
