Where does this team rank in past WS Champions

[Ewitkows1]

It's hard to ranks teams from different generations but where do you think this team lands since 2000? 103 wins, 11-2 in the playoffs maybe the best bullpen ever.

I put them just above the Royals so somewhere in the middle.  Not the greatest team in WS history but also not the worst (Cardinals 2006).

Probably in the top 10 but definitely no lower than 12.  

[Brewers Downunder]

Somewhere between the 1976 Reds & 1998 Yankees.

I was thinking about those 90's Yankees teams and yes there were some big stars, but the dynasty part was driven by having the supporting cast having the complimentary quality to it. Once you adjust for era our stars this year are pretty good too. So I'd put the current crop in the top 5 since 2000

That Cardinals team was underrated, IMO. They were 80-69 before going into a tailspin at the end of the season. They weren't an amazing team by any means, but certainly better than 83-78 and the reputation they carry because of that.

As for this Brewers team, they have to be in the top quartile of champions. They led baseball in wins in a league that was WAY HARDER than the American League, and then they went 11-2 in the postseason. There's no way to compare this team against others and not have them come out looking favorably.

Best ever all time

A fun conversation best saved for another day (where all sides can be more rational). They are the best in the world right now!

Defending the Cardinals?  How many points can I dock you for that?? Is that a week vacation? Lifetime ban?

Hey, I don't like being forced to defend those bastards, blame the source.

Gotta put the 11-2 in context for who we beat for those 11 wins too. To be the best we beat the best.
