Reply to "Poll - Trout, Cabrera or other for AL MVP"

I'm pulling for Trout, but both he and Cabrera are deserving.

One thing that people don't seem to mention is the Prince Fielder affect on Cabrera. In 2011 Cabrera walked 108 times, this year 66 times. Not to mention the pitches he saw because of the bat behind him in the lineup. After all, Prince is hitting .313 this year with 30 HRs and 108 RBI. Makes you wonder what the numbers would look like if they flipped them two in the batting order.

BTW, if Cabrera wins the MVP award, this will be two years in row, two different leagues, two different teams, that the League MVP hit right before Prince in the batting order.

That said... I'm pulling for Trout!
