I can't complain about Cabrera's winning because he had a monster season (although the Triple Crown seems like an outdated achievement). But if I'm picking my team I'll take 2012 Trout over Cabrera any day. On Sat, Nov 24, 2012 at 4:14 PM, Ray Daniel Salemi <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: BTW.

Winning the triple crown deserves to be recognized. I'm happy with Cabrera. Ray PS. I'm way behind on my geeky baseball stats.
