I thought the votes will be close but......

"DETROIT -- After all the debate, all the rhetoric, all the statistical and historical analysis, it wasn't close. Miguel Cabrera was as surprised by that as anybody, even if his manager was not.

The American League Most Valuable Player Award is staying in Detroit. Along the way, however, it's probably taking a side trip through Venezuela.

In the long-anticipated battle of historic seasons, Cabrera put an exclamation point on his 2012 Triple Crown campaign on Thursday with the AL MVP, beating out Angels rookie sensation Mike Trout in voting cast by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Cabrera received 22 of 28 first-place votes, with Trout receiving the other six. Cabrera finished with 362 points. Trout had 281, with the total points distributed on a 14-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis." mlb.com
