Trout or Cabrera?

[Steve-o]

Come on. I don't think this should even be a question.

Yes, based on all the sabermetrics, Trout is ahead of Cabrera. But math just isn't everything in baseball, which is why, despite having a movie made about him, Billy Bean has never won a championship.

With Trout, the Angels finished third. Without Trout, they still would have finished third.

This goes against everything the title "most valuable player" is supposed to mean.

Cabrera should be the winner but Trout will get it.

Cabrera should be the winner but Trout will get it.

See, I think the opposite will happen. I think Cabrera will get it, and there will be a bunch of people screaming that Trout should have gotten it.

I completely agree.

I think the voting will be really fishy of Trout wins...

Wasn't even close. Cabrera got 1st on 22/28 ballots.

I think that's the right call for the reasons midgar posted.
