Not at all 2013 Dad. I think that Miguel Cabrera is the best hitter on the planet right now. I think Votto, Pujols et al could probably give him a run for his money on a year-in-year-out basis, but this year there is not a single person I would least like to face at the plate more than Miguel Cabrera.

But the award isn't "Best Hitter". It's "Most Valuable Player." I've looked at every stat I can find in every way imaginable, and there is not a single shred of evidence that even comes close to remotely indicating anyone is on the same planet as Trout in terms of value.
