No way Trout doesn't win MVP. He is having one of the overall best statistical seasons we've seen in quite some time.

Past winners like Howard, Pujols, ARod etc...have proven that being on a playoff team has little to no bearing on the award. Plus it's not like Cabrera singlehandedly led his team to the playoffs if that's your argument for him.

Also how important is defense when measuring a players value? Trout is one of the best defensive outfielders in the game while Cabrera is known by many as the worst defensive 3B in MLB.

What about the intangibles like baserunning? Obviously Trout is a premier baserunner who frequently takes an extra base and rarely runs himself into outs. Cabrera is a liability on the basepaths.

You guys need to get off the power numbers for a minute and look at the overall value....
