Miguel leads Trout in basically every statistical category but WAR, where Miguel is 3rd to Trout's 1st. Miguel has a lot of GIDP, Trout has even worse strike out numbers.

Offense isn't the only part of baseball. And even if it were, power is the only aspect where Cabrera has a clear advantage. They're within like .005 of each other in both AVG. on OBP., so I think we can agree to say that's a wash.
Words cannot express how much better Trout is defensively (at a premium position) and as a baserunner.
*Forgot to quote Ned. Fine, absurd was over the top. But no one in the world can convince me Trout doesn't deserve it. I don't care if you're a fan of sabermetrics or an oldschool scout type who wants to watch the games to decide.
Also, (and I promise I'm not trying to sound like a weenie) I'm not entirely sure if you know how WAR works. The reason Trout's leading Cabrera is because WAR encompasses both hitting and fielding, so you can't really say "Well player A leads in WAR, but player B has more home runs." Either you think it's a worthwhile measuring stick of a player's value or you don't.
O's clinch a playoff spot. Now time to win the AL East.
This will be pretty interesting if the O's and Yankees stay tied. A one-game playoff where the loser goes to a one-game playoff. That will be a pretty important playoff game.
Need to clarify my post from the last page. Trout would be a fine recipient, didn't mean to say he wouldn't be. But Cabrera also deserves to the MVP win and will.
It's a shame Jim Johnson had such a bad July or he might get some Cy Young votes, WHIP of .55 in May, .75 in June and .38 in August. Just got killed when he was having problems with his mechanics in July. Still 50+ saves is epic.
RA has more innings (227 TO 199), K's (222 TO 207), less BB's (54 TO 76), lower ERA (2.69 TO 2.89), lower WHIP (1.05 TO 1.13), 1 less win and 2 less losses (and pitches against the Marlins this week in the Battle For The Basement - FEEL THE EXCITEMENT!!!).
The only real argument is the "good team/bad team" argument, but shouldn't RA pitching on a AAA team for 4 months actually help his cause?

Tricky Dickey!!! One time!!
Yeah, he should be a lock honestly, but the choices made don't always make sense. Just look at the poor defensive players who win gold gloves year after year based on reputation alone.
