Of course it does. I've never said otherwise. BUT, do you trust your memory enough to not miss some things? Do you see enough of every player on every team to make the kinds of judgments required in an MVP debate? Do you not think a statistical history is useful in making these kinds of judgments?
And the most important question: are you saying that your eyes tell you that Miguel Cabrera is a better, more complete, and more valuable all-around player than Mike Trout is? Because my eyes tell me something different.
