Does that calculate? He has him killed in every category? Which categories are that? Fielding percentage? WAR, OPS are almost identical, BA, almost identical. Hardly killed. One is a lead off hitter and one is bats 3rd. RBIs do not come as easy for leadoff hitters. Runs Trout has him slaughtered. SBs is not even close 49 - 0. If you understand WAR as hardcore baseball fanatics do 10.7 is Godlike. We are talking Barry Bonds on roids here. The fact that he is 20 is irrelevant he simply had a better season and is more valuable to his team. Again I will repeat so you get it all in one post. Harder division, Harder schedule, Less games, Better stats.

baseball nerd categories mean fuck all for mvp votes... writers don't give a shit about the movie moneyball.
canseco did it yes but he hit over 40 homeruns that year and was up there for rbi's too so comparing that to trout is ridiculous. rickey henderson had 130 stolen bases in a season and was no where near mvp that year despite a high average and rbi's for a lead off man.
and i'm a bigger ball fan than you.. so don't pull that bullshit.. west isn't a harder division, if he was in the east i would give you that... but just barely..
