It's been refreshing to hear the media slowing down on their manic reactions to Mike Trout. Tim Kirkjian of ESPN, however is still unsure over who will win. Buster Olney, also of ESPN, argues for Trout. Let's take a close look.

We have noticed that analysis on this topic typically only compares 4 or 5 stats at a time, with Cabrera or Trout winning approximately half of the statistical items.  This post will look at a more exhaustive list of stats between the two to give a fair comparison.

Miguel Cabrera

Mike Trout

The score finished at 15 for Cabrera and 7 for Trout. We understand that there is more to baseball than these stats, but let's be honest, Joe Mauer in 2009, Alex Rodriguez in 2007, 2005 and 2003, and Jason Giambi in 2000 were voted in for anything other than these statistical categories.

Mike Trout may win an MVP in the future, but this year belong to Cabrera. Let's be honest, it is awkward for baseball that the conversation has even gone this far.
