I feel like we need a thread on this.

With Cabrera in position to achieve the first Triple Crown since 1967 (tops in HRs, RBIs and Avg)....does he deserve the MVP over a guy like Trout, who is a rookie whose defensive game easily destroys Miggy's, plus he has fantastic stats....

Thoughts?

I peg Trout as the complete player, Miggy as the better hitter. Even getting really close to a triple crown is very impressive these days, I'm not really sure what to say here...

I'm going to put my money on miggy. Trout has done some amazing things but I think on paper he has a much better team behind him. Plus the fact that he's a shoe in for ROY I think the edge goes to cabrerra who is totally leading his team and the entire mlb offensively.

I think Miggy will win... as voters often expect a player to pay his dues to get respect.

That said, there is no questioning Trout's overall value this year.
His WAR says enough.
I think Trout is MVP of MLB this year.

Trout may not win, but this isn't even a debate.
Trout leads by 3.5 wins in WAR.
People ignore defense and baserunning in MVP vote, and look at glamour stats like hrs/rbis.

Both tremendous players, but if Miggy wins the triple crown this is his award IMO.

Trout is amazing and his play won't go unnoticed, I'm sure he will win a few MVP awards throughout his career.
