Well JH, the people who said Trout didn't deserve to be MVP the last two years because the Angels didn't reach the playoffs and the Tigers did might not have that one to fall back on. Of course the Tigers are in first although in a crummier division with a worse record than the Angels so I'm sure someone will still argue that point. 
Also some people said Cabrera deserved the MVP because he was willing to take one for the team and play a unfamiliar position (3B), never mind that he then was one of the very worst defensive players in the Majors ( probably also in the Minors, college and some high schools) Remember defense, baserunning and runs scored does not count when it comes to the almighty RBI and Cabrera has more RBI's again this year although he bats in a position in the lineup that should have more RBI's IF the guys in front of him are getting on.
The whole point of this is that if the Tigers offered Cabrera to the Angels for Trout, the Angel management would laugh them off the phone.
