I was just reading an article poking fun at Keith Law for picking Trout as the mvp so far, and most of the comments go something like this, "the tigers are winning their division and the angels are in 4th place, how could trout be more valuable?"
So after resisting the urge to bang my head against my desk, I just want to try and understand how people are incapable of seeing that there are 25 players on a baseball team. If you could replace Trout with Babe Ruth right now, the angels would still be a mediocre team. The angels have the 3rd worst ERA in baseball, so what control does Trout have over that? After Trout, Howie Kendrick is the only other above average hitter on that lineup.
I understand if you straight up think that cabrera is better, but please use an argument that makes sense like pointing to his huge lead in slugging percentage.
