OT: Potential to be the lowest rated World Series Ever

This is off topic and came to me because I was really bored. I know this isn't the type of discussion that takes place in April but I was thinking about what would the potential lowest ratings for a World Series be?

The Phillies and the Rays just finished beating out the White Sox and Astros (2005) World Series as being the lowest rated ever.

Potential to be contenders in the discussion: Royals, Mariners, A's, Rays, in the AL. And the Marlins, Nationals, Padres, and Pirates for the NL.

So the question is, what do you guys think would potentially be the lowest rated World Series ever? I'm thinking boring small market teams as the main contenders. I'll go with the A's and Padres World Series and being FOX's worst nightmare.

Free-agent pitcher Juan Cruz, caught in an unusual vise of rules and economy this offseason, is moving closer toward a deal with the Kansas City Royals, according to three sources.

Arizona would get two 2009 compensatory draft picks -- a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds and the Royals' second-round pick at around No. 55 overall -- if the deal is completed.

I like this. I think it's a risk worth taking as far as this year is concerned. Definitely decreases the dependence on Farnsworth.
