Read more-Perspective: Mike Trout at 10 WAR - Halos Heaven

This kid is unbelievably good.

Mvp

I really can't say who I think is going to win the MVP, yet. Right now, I say Cabrera and Trout are tied.

Cabrera is going into a deep slump and the Tigers are just mere outs away from their season being over.

Overall

Trout: 10.0 WAR
Cabrera: 5.7 WAR

Offense

Trout: 7.4 WAR
Cabrera: 6.1 WAR

Defense

Trout: 2.7 WAR
Cabrera: -0.2 WAR

Alright. WAR is just one subject, though. The reason I still can't decide is because of Cabrera's home runs and RBI's. I'm not a home run crazy fan, but 34 (or 35?) home runs count for something in the MVP race. I'm beginning to lean to Trout, though.

Home runs are a terrible stat to base an MVP vote off of.

You do know that WAR represents a lot of things right? Why do you think Miggy has a good oWAR? Because he can hit.

That's what I meant..

I just think writers will be leaning towards Trout because he has the numbers to win a RoY and an MVP. But Cabrera also has the numbers. I just think the writers are going to be biased in the voting because they would like to see a RoY and an MVP in the same season instead of just an MVP.

But then again, if Trout keeps doing what he's doing, he will win the MVP. But if Cabrera keeps doing what he was doing before this 'slump', I really can't say who will win it.

Right now, Trout is a much hotter hitter then Cabrera, but Cabrera's stats have been holding up due to his past performances. It's basically this: Whoever slips up first loses the MVP.
