By sheer luck runs scored could have been substituted for RBI's in the triple crown. They too, depend somewhat on other player's contributions. If a person has ever studied baseball history, they will find out that such terms as Triple Crown or Batting Champion were coined by some sports writer of years gone by and took on a greater importance than they truly have. RBI's and batting average are fun numbers to look at but that does not mean they define the most important offensive contributions that the Triple Crown would have you believe. Cabrera's triple crown is no different than about six or seven of Pujol's seasons yet at least Albert could run the bases and field his position.
I've noticed no one that picks Cabrera for MVP ever gives any concrete or arguable reason outside of the leadership in those three catagories and statements like " he's out there everyday producing, or teams fear him, or Detroit wouldn't be the same team without him". Show me something that proves he is the MVP over Trout, not obtuse statements.
