Even if the Royals win another title, that team was special. A lineup that could kill you 1-9 and a bullpen like that. There are teams that might have a better ace pitcher, or more power in the middle of the order... but once Rios got going in the playoffs they literally had a lineup where everyone was hitting, and a bullpen that would finish you if you were down after 5.
You've even seen that with this Indians team... great offense, but some guys slumped in this series. The 2015 Royals made every single at-bat a grind. There were no weaknesses. There's a reason Joe Buck said it might be the best team he's ever covered.
