Probably close, and no, LA isn't a small market.
the simple rule is the AL has a DH and NL has a pitcher hitting. That's 1/9th.
But, if you look at most NL teams (typically) they are built more on defense where AL is built more on hitting. Typically an NL team has more "dead hitters" then an AL team. Catcher, SS, are two examples.
There are some exceptions, Pedro was one.
Glad the deal is dead, didn't want to see RJ in NY. There is talk the deal may start again now the Dodgers signed JD Drew, there is also talk that the Dodgers may deal Green to Arizona in a deal that doesn't involve NYY.
