Champ Kind Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Only a precious few people will ever know exactly how it looked when Miguel Cabrera, one of baseball's reluctant superstars, finally achieved history 45 years in the making. http://news.yahoo.com/tigers-cabrera-wins-1st-triple-crown-45-years-021947645--mlb.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEBRUARY Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm happy for Miggy, but I still agree with Brian Kenny that Trout is the more valuable player. sauce: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120923&content_id=38895636&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Headband)(EG) Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Miggy's Team is going to Playoffs while Fishymans team isnt. Miggy For MVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 This is the triple crown we're talking about here. It hasn't happend in 45 years since Williams did it I believe (correct me if i'm wrong). Cabrera deserves MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEBRUARY Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) No, burn yourself. clearly didn't read the raw statistics Miggy's Team is going to Playoffs while Fishymans team isnt. Miggy For MVP doesn't matter. Trouts WAR (wins over replacement) is like 6 times higher then Miggys or something outrageous like that. Trout helped his team more and is the most valuable player in the AL. This is the triple crown we're talking about here. It hasn't happend in 45 years since Williams did it I believe (correct me if i'm wrong). Cabrera deserves MVP. Carl yastrzemski was the last person to do it, yes 45 years ago. regardless, Williams won it twice and didn't win the MVP EITHER time. Trout has a good chance of winning it if you look at the raw stats, which the MLB writers look at more then semi-useless stats like batting average. EDIT: also, Second in the AL in BA, first in runs (mind you he missed the majority of april. called up april 29th, same day as Harper), first in steals, AND 30 home runs. All as a rookie. MLB hasn't seen a rookie season like this since Alex Rodriguez, and even then, Rodriguez' '96 season is stupid compared to Trout's 2012, simply because of the quality pitchers Trout has seen in the AL. Pitching is a lot different now then it was in 96, and players have to deal with a lot more scouting now.

LazaHorse Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Miggy is sick. Can't believe he got it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Trout should get rookie of the year, but he has a long carrer ahead of him and he will have plenty more chances to get MVP. Give it to Miggy. He accomplished a very hard thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastered Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Either way,Trouts gonna win MVP or Rookie of the Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Miggy. He accomplished a very hard thing to do. Ted Williams accomplished the same thing. Granted the pitching differences since the 40's, but Williams did it twice with no MVP. Triple Crown doesn't mean you're the most valuable player. Trout's won more games for his team then Miggy. Either way,Trouts gonna win MVP or Rookie of the Year. The only way he won't win AL ROY is if Yu Darvish pitches 2 no hitters/perfect games in the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I'm the rawest spectator ever and I know Mike Trout is a little minnow in the ocean bruh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
