Comments on: Miguel Cabrera – The Quiet Candidate http://eyeofthetigers.com/2009/08/25/miguel-cabrera-the-quiet-candidate/ The happenings of the Detroit Tigers.

He has done everything that has been asked of him for 2 seasons now. The trade to bring him aboard was a stroke of genius. His average and runs batted in are staggering given the offense he plays for. No doubt an MVP candidate. He is being more noticed now because Grande and Polly are finally getting on base, and all of a sudden Miggy's getting a chance to pad the RBI total.

Ellet Lambie.

At this point, I would still be shocked if the award didn't go to Mauer, and he certainly would be a fine choice, but without Cabrera, the Tigers are a third place club. With Mauer, the Twins are a third place club (at least for now). It's the Most VALUABLE Player award, and so I do feel the standings should play into the discussion. The Yankees without Teixeira are still in first place, or at least in the running. the Twins without Mauer are still a third place team. The Red Sox have six guys they could replace Youkilis with and suffer only a small decline. Cabrera is by far the most valuable player in the AL. Outstanding work.
