Baseball Triple Crown

[TheReff]

Cabrera is hands down the AL MVP since he won the triple crown AND his team won the division. But this will be a battle of the voters of old style baseball vs. Sabremetrics.

You do realize that Trout's team won more games. So you are voting for Cabrera because of geography.

I think it's a lot closer than WAR says it is, but I'd vote Trout.

Cabrera has the edge hitting, but Trout has a huge advantage in the field and running the bases. It's not MVB or MVH, it's MVP.

yea miggy gets the triple crown, trout gets mvp. that's how i feel as a tiger fan. this has been a remarkable year of baseball.

BTW, why is positional adjustment the same for 3B and CF? I feel like CF is a much harder position, 2nd base is closer, but still harder to me than 3B.

it's based on players who move positions as opposed to batting adjustments.
