Who was the MLB team of the year?

You may want to pick the Padres for some weird reason, but you can't, it's against the rules.

We may not be able to vote for the Padres but that doesn't mean we can't show you a picture of them

Now for the final vote in SB Nations MLB 2014 awards, the Team of the Year. I like this category because we saw who advanced to the playoffs and we saw who actually won the World Series, but to win Team of the Year a team must do more than weasel their way into the playoffs and get hot for a few days.  As an advanced scout from my rec softball league once told me, a true Team of the Year candidate has to display the three 'T's of baseball: teamwork, togetherness and toughness all season long.

Below are the six teams you nominated for this category.  Frankly I'm a little surprised that you left out the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, but I'm sure you had your reasons.  You chose instead to honor the teams that won more than 90 games in the season, which I guess is a fair way of doing things.  Now you must choose just one.
