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

Certainly based on Sabermetrics Trout leads (with cabrera 2nd in many). The problem with many sabermetric stats, imo, is they are speculative such as WAR, and are made up. BA, RBI, and HR, OBP, R and even OPS are not. There is no possible way to accurately calculate how many wins a player can bring a team. No possible way to calculate how many runs a player brings to a team. It is a complete guess. What we do know as fact is that the only relevant category in which Trout led was R, OBP (by .006 i think) and SB. That is all that is known. People spew these stats like they are law. But they are simply the result of a formula concocted by some statistician as a best guess to determine something.
