I'm going to sound like a homer, but...

I'd say the 95 Indians (100-44) were far better than the 05 Sox or 02 Angels. Their winning pct was almost .700, one of the best marks ever. Albert Belle had 103 XBH. Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez hit sixth and seventh in that lineup. Five guys with 21+ homers, including the #8 hitter. All that in only 144 games that season. Sure, the rotation was a little weak, but the bully was great.

Unless you are really against steroid teams, I can't see leaving them out. One of the best offenses since the Big Red Machine.

Unless you are against using two A's teams (and roiders), I'd put the 89 A's before the Sox and Angels as well. Another very solid team IMO.
