1) Hes never won a triple crown, who cares?

2) We say he's the best player because he is and it's not close. He's a top 2-3 hitter, one of the best base runners, one of the best defensive players in the game

3) Miggy barely out hits him, it's actually really close. And you've got to be trolling to even question the defensive gap between the two players

See this is the kind of generalization shyt I am talking about with Trout...

You tell me he is one of the best base runners...and he smooth only scored 20 more runs than Miggy last year...so for all his elite base running...he only crossed home plate 20 more times than a man who is one of the worst base runners in all of baseball...that is an unbelievably low number...the gap between a elite baserunner and a bad base runner should be more than 20 runs over a 160+ games...

I'm not sure what you mean by "barely out hit him" Miggy was number one across the board for hitting in his triple crown year and damn near did it again...Trout has never been number 2 across the board in hitting...

You've got to be an idiot to think the "defensive gap" between the two is even that big...Matter fact go check Miggy's numbers at third...

I know you are full of shyt with this "one of the best defensive players in the game" Trout has a borderline POPGUN arm...no baserunner is not taking an extra base just because the ball was hit at trout...

Only stole 10 basis this year by the way...how in the hell is that elite baserunning?

Dude is only 22 and is a great player...a bit overrated...but great nevertheless...but all this talk about Miggy robbing him of mvp's...nonsense...Miggy was such an otherwordly hitter those two years I think his bat alone put him over trout and all this other stuff trout does but numbers don't bare out and people can never put into words...

This.

And the downplaying of Cabrera's offensive achievements over the past few years in this thread is atrocious.

Trout is a better all-around player but miggy may end up being the best right handed hitter ever. People seem to be forgetting skinny 19 year old Cabrera from marlins. Players bodies do change. Its been three years, we can see trout body type changing. His SB are going to go down as he tries to be a home run hitter. He best base running days are probably already behind him. Trout is a good defensive player, not great.

And miggy has actually been on a winning team. Detroit's starting pitching shyts on angels, but u cant act like miggy didn't carry Detroit offensively to playoffs last year while injured with little help. He is the best hitter on the planet and agreed to play third for a couple of seasons for that bum prince fielder. Other than digging into random advanced stats, i don't see how anyone can say trout has stolen two mvps from miggy when looking at numbers and team success.
