October 4, 201213 yr Cabrera MVP for guys over 60. Trout MVP for everyone else. Cabrera MVP according to his peers Trout MVP according to front office weasels.
October 5, 201213 yr Cabrera MVP according to his peers Trout MVP according to front office weasels. ^^^ Another old crotchety guy for Cabrera. Them young whippersnappers and their saber meters.
October 5, 201213 yr ^^^ Another old crotchety guy for Cabrera. Them young whippersnappers and their saber meters. I didn't say my vote would go to Cabrera. I was just stating facts.
October 5, 201213 yr Albert Pujols major struggles early in the year have nothing to do with that? It's not all Trout but he's pretty awesome. Trout is the only person in history with 30 HR, 45 SB and 125R Correct. If we're using rarity as a measuring stick.... Triple Crown is rare. Trout's stat line has never been accomplished. So we are using rarity as the measuring stick?
October 5, 201213 yr Author So we are using rarity as the measuring stick? That seems to be the argument ie it happens so infrequently that it makes it automatic.
October 5, 201213 yr Pretty unreal that a guy who won the TC might not win the MVP. I do agree with this. If you would've told me the triple crown winner didn't deserve the MVP I'd have never believed you.
October 5, 201213 yr That seems to be the argument ie it happens so infrequently that it makes it automatic. My arguement is the guy lead the league in HR, BA, and RBIs. Why do you think it happens so infrequently? If the basis for winning awards was just infrequency of accomplishment then the Cy Young Award would go to anyone who throws a perfect game.

October 5, 201213 yr Trout winning the MVP is part of the sabermetric culture of today's game. Not saying that is right or wrong, just the reality of the situation.
October 5, 201213 yr Author Trout winning the MVP is part of the sabermetric culture of today's game. Not saying that is right or wrong, just the reality of the situation. I'm not even sure if you need to go to that level of stats. Avg/runs/stolen bases/slugging/OPS plus defense make him my choice. The rest is just for good banter.
