That 2014 SF Giants team that KC took to game 7 stands out to me as another recent contender for pretty weak teams to win a World Series. 2nd in the NL with 88 wins with pretty awful Padres, D-backs and Rockies teams in their division.
Buster Posey is really the only guy on their team that stands out to me in their batting lineup. Madison Bumgarner was obviously their ace and is the reason they won the WS, but it was him plus a bunch of really average pitchers way past their prime in Peavy, Lincecum, Vogelsong and Hudson.
