Holly (how many teams would be able to shoulder the loss of their closer who had 46 saves and a 1.44 ERA the year before?) and Rios (whose hand was never fully healthy through the season).

Sure, Rios and Gordo bounced back in the playoffs, but the fact the Royals won home field advantage despite these injuries is a testament to just how good the 2015 team was.
