I'm going to Rank and do a write up of the championship teams based on how I remember them. Just so I'm clear I want to make sure I have the right champs before I start the writeups
2011 Texas Rangers
2012 New York Yankees
2013 St Louis Cardinals
2014 Chicago Cubs
2015 Arizona Diamondbacks
2016 San Diego Padres
2017 Pittsburgh Pirates
2018 New York Mets
2019 Detroit Tigers

Our leagues 9th best Champion is technically not a champion. I was able to go back and find Jbart's team that lost to Wood in the finals the year prior in 2012. Here is that team.
SP. Doug Fister
SP. Ervin Santana
SP. Jose Quintana
SP. James McDonald
SP. Eric Stults
RP. Bobby Parnell
RP. Jared Burton
RP. Jon Rauch
RP. Joel Peralta
RP. Tony Sipp
LF. Mike Trout
SS. Derek Jeter
2B. Robinson Cano
RF. Allen Craig
3B. Pablo Sandoval
DH. Wilin Rosario
1B. Michael Young
C. Jonathan Lucroy
CF. Angel Pagan
Bench: Brandon Beachy, Vance Worley, Todd Frazier, Drew Stubbs, J.D. Martinez, Kevin Millwood
I went through some transactions and found that he acquired Machado, Bartolo Colon, Michael Pineda and Ivan Nova for the 2013 run.
So he had Machado and Trout, an old Jeter, Cano was probably very good in 13, but I am just absolutely stunned that people say Jbart was one of the most stacked teams in league history. Allen Craig was an All star in 13 and recieved MVP votes, he was released by both the real life and ODC cardinals the following season. The man had Angel Pagan and 40 year old Michael young starting. His CL was Bobby Parnell, who admittedly was a stud before injury, his pitching looks hardly competitive. The fact that this squad rolled through the NL to back to back finals is utterly ridiculous. Jbart's most notable spect at the time was Daniel Corcino and he did not own a draft pick in 14 or 15 and went into 14 FA with 2M in cap space, it's no wonder Matt had a fairly long rebuild with this team. In hindsight I respect Jbart for building a team around Machado and Trout to get to the finals but to argue this journeyman filled roster is a top 5 team in league history is a disgrace.

Let me tell you when I won with the Yankees against the cards that was one pain in the ass of a match he had a damn good team my team got hot at the right moment though
Homer Bailey was a big win for me in that one heat was the clinching factor lol
