Really? Brilliant observation.

 

It wasn't meant to be brilliant...just a put-down to an arrogant ass. The only book that counts is that maintained by the MLB and I frankly don't give a s*** who won the award. Nobody's OPINION counts when the winner is in the book.

Mods, how many years of trolling does J_E get on this forum? Ninety-nine percent of his sports posts are just trolling slams at individual board members or the collective board. Get rid of this guy. Enough is enough.

It's the offseason a700, stupid s*** will have everyday until opening day. :lol:We don't need to get rid of J_E though. His tone isn't the most respectable but he's not one of the bad guys.

It is ridiculous to say that Trout had the better season because his OBP was 6 points higher than Miggy's when Miggy's Slugging, OPS and HRs were better by bigger margins. Also, no one has mentioned how these players came down the stretch. Miggy's second half was better than Trout's on every count. In August and September when the games are most important, Miggy's performance far outstripped Trout's. MVP's are won by great players who perform best when it matters most, not in May and June, and it certainly isn't decided by 6 points in OBP. I'll bet if you canvassed AL pitchers about who they fear more, the vote would be equally as lopsided.

FYI

 

Cabrera also didn't completely fall apart down the stretch, he had a 1.060 OPS in August-September compared to Trout's .830 in the same months.

 

And this matters why?

If Batting average and RBI are such worthless stats, I think someone would have accomplished the feat in the last 45 years. You'd also think that some one would have done it who wasn't a Hall of Fame player. Miggy is the best offensive player in baseball right now. The so-called worthless stats do not prove his greatness. They are a result of his greatness.

 

The baseball writers agreed with you because Miggy won the MVP.

I wouldn't say RBI's are a worthless stat BUT it really all depends what team your on , your position in the order .

 

If Miggy was batting leadoff there's no way in hell he comes close to the RBI's he had .

If he was also batting on a s***** team , he would also have less.
