Here is from Washington Post:

The Triple Crown is no guarantee, either. Since the Baseball Writers Association of American began voting on league MVPs in 1933, 10 players have now won the triple crown — and four of them (Chuck Klein in 1933, Lou Gehrig in 1934 and Ted Williams in 1942 and 1947) did not win MVP.
The credentials (stats in bold italics indicate league leader):
Cabrera: .330 average, .393 on-base percentage, .606 slugging percentage, 109 runs, 205 hits, 40 doubles, 44 home runs, 139 RBIs, 66 walks, 4 steals, .966 fielding percentage (697 plate appearances)
Trout: .326 average, .399 on-base percentage, .564 slugging percentage, 129 runs, 182 hits, 27 doubles, 8 triples, 30 home runs, 67 walks, 49 steals, .988 fielding percentage (639 plate appearances)
Cabrera is also still playing after he led the Tigers to another AL Central crown while Trout’s Angels finished four games out of the final wild-card spot. But Trout’s speed and standout defensive play are impossible to ignore. And like Cabrera, the 21-year-old has the utmost respect for his main competition.
“When he’s over the plate, he can do anything,” Trout said of Cabrera Wednesday night. “He’s the best hitter in the game. I think his approach, the way he battles with two strikes – you leave one pitch over the plate that at-bat and he’s going to hit it. He had an unbelievable year.”

Main jarring contrasts:
Cabrera HR = 44, steal = 4, double = 40
Trout HR = 30, steal = 49, double = 27
The fact that RJM pointed out there are at least 3 versions of WAR out there and nobody is in agreement said a lot about the weighted statistics. I could go ahead and create a fourth WAR and made Posey the clear winner. So how many steals are equivalent to a HR. How many doubles are equivalent to a steal? How many HRs is equivalent to a double? And on and on. As the saying goes, 'there are lies, d*mn lies, and statistics".
