All good choices.

Trout is the best player in baseball, but Cabrera is a better hitter, which is what the MVP award is really about.

Isn't it odd that baseball doesn't have an award for best player?

I thought it was about value to his team and winning/playoffs, etc..

Then how come Justin Verlander won it two years ago? I think Trout deserved to win. He was a better all around player than Cabrera this year.

It'd be nice if they created one. They could call it the "Best Hitter Award" :laughlol:

It's about whatever the individual writers decide it's about. "The best hitter that plays on a great team" is another possible definition.

Who knows? Was that the same year that Ellsbury's insane 30/30 season didn't get him MVP?

Yeah, I think you nailed it.

Scherzer scares me in the future. At least he's not in-division.
