My Thoughts On The AL MVP

Because Seriously, who hasn't spoke their mind about this?!?!?!
 So... my pick would have to be Mike Trout! Sorry, to Mr. Cabrera ,  but I think that most of the evidence clearly points to Trout.

Trout's Wins Above Replacment (a stat that measures total value) was historically high. I don't know the exact number but there aren't many people who have had a 10.0 WAR season. WAR is not the be all and end all of stats. but when there is a difference of almost 4 wins between player's (Trout's 10.7 to Cabrera's 6.9) respective WARs that should be a red flag as to which player is more valuable...

Some popular myths on why Miguel Cabrera was the MVP debunked:

1. The Tigers made the postseason...Yeah, but the Angels had more wins and played in a harder division...SO THERE!

2. Cabrera won the triple crown...And your point is what? Batting average and RBIs are far from telling stats...SO THERE!

3. Trout has many more years to win MVP...Seriously?!?!?!?!? What kind of crazy argument is this....WHATEVER!

Um... so that's what I had on my mind...Not gonna write about the postseason, it's old news by now! Not gonna write about that insane Marlins-Blue Jays deal... Don't really fell like it!

So HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! and I'll check in again soon!
