Convince me that Miguel Cabrera deserves to be the AL MVP.

WILT CHAMBERLAIN WOULD BE GREAT IN TODAYS NBA
BUT HE WOULDNT COME CLOSE TO AVERAGING 50 POINTS A GAME,
JUST LIKE THOSE 2 WOULDNT HAVE PUT UP THOSE NUMBERS IN AN INTEGRATED MLB.



​

Hol' up:

You got a point with Wilt, but MLB is a different game. You can't say for a certainty that Ruth and Gehrig wouldn't put up those numbers in an integrated MLB, because all they'd have to be able to do is hit like they did. It's not like they would be a lot worse hitting if they faced more black pitchers, or a lot of their HRs would be robbed on some Esquire Joe Catch chit. Baseball players don't score/succeed in a toe-to-toe, physical contact manner like NFL or NBA players, so Blackleticism is not as big a factor here against white ballers.

What's his WAR breh?

3.4

2nd in the league to Chris Davis.


Also, I'm not sure why you'd bring up a different seasons stats in a debate about last year's award.

Cabrera is a monster. He's also a shytty fielder and gives you nothing on the bases. Nothing has changed.
