Insane.

 

 

 

 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Not bad.

[fan_since79]

He's on pace for 169 RBI. Nobody has totaled that many since Jimmy Foxx in 1938 (he had 175).

[wopphil]

He is what Pujols used to be (yes yes, I know, "can't wait until we give him 350,000,000 when he is a free agent in 4 years").

[fan_since79]

Only two more years, and he's a free agent!

 

You have to admit, he's a slight upgrade to Callaspo at third.

Until he signs the 20 year contract and hits .270 with 25 HR in year one.

[fan_since79]

Cabrera's Adjusted OPS+ this year so far is 203, his best number ever in that stat. In his Triple Crown year in 2012 he totaled 164.

 

Babe Ruth averaged 206 in his career and had 11 seasons of 200 or better.

[fan_since79]

I think that's an overstatement.

[DW711]

Insane, but Davis is still the mvp so far.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Trout won't win an MVP unless he goes to the NL or Cabrera leaves to the NL. He needs to have an Ichiro 2004 type season (.370+ avg) to even stand a chance.

No he's not.

[YouthofToday]

Ruth also didn't face any pitcher of color.

Ruth did strike out to a girl once.

[Halos of Anaheim]

No he's not.

He just hit 2 bombs tonight, he has 30 HRs and 80 RBIs in 81 (half of a full 162 game season) games. So he's pretty much on pace to hit 60 HRs ad 160 RBIs.

[fan_since79]

Ruth also didn't face any pitcher of color.

He murdered Negro League pitching during various barnstorming tours between seasons. Bill Jenkinson documents at least 55 total AB against pitchers "of color" in which the Babe hit 12 home runs and batted .455

Racist.

Compare:

 

Cabrera: .375/.463/.676, 24 HR, 81 RBI, 207 wRC+, 5.5 fWAR

Davis: .333/.408/.724, 30 HR, 79 RBI, 198 wRC+, 4.6 fWAR

 

Obviously they're both ridiculous this year but Cabrera has the edge. So far, at least. Trout's right there with a 4.6 fWAR.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@Buster_ESPN: ELIAS: Chris Davis is the first player in major-league history to have at least 25 doubles AND 31 homers by the end of June.

@Buster_ESPN: With that home run, Davis has passed Miguel Cabrera for most total bases in the big leagues; he's got 217, Cabrera 215.

[Angel Oracle]

Starting with when the trade talks for Cabrera fell through in December 2007, this org has been pretty poor in their acquisitions/non-acquisitions.

Will this finally change?

[AZMike]

Racist.

 

 

Compare:

 

Cabrera: .375/.463/.676, 24 HR, 81 RBI, 207 wRC+, 5.5 fWAR

Davis: .333/.408/.724, 30 HR, 79 RBI, 198 wRC+, 4.6 fWAR

 

Obviously they're both ridiculous this year but Cabrera has the edge. So far, at least. Trout's right there with a 4.6 fWAR.

 

the gaps are even bigger if you look at bWAR:

 

Cabrera: 4.8 bWAR

Davis: 4.1 bWAR 

Trout: 3.5 bWAR

 

If you look at strictly offensive stats:

 

Cabrera 5.7 oWAR

Davis  4.8 oWAR

Trout 4.8 oWAR

 

OTOH, MVP is all about clutchness:

 

Davis 4.9  WPA

Cabrera 3.5  WPA

Trout 2.2  WPA

 

 

Davis is by far the most clutch of the three. 

[tdawg87]

bWAR is seriously screwed up this year, and I'm not just saying that because of Trout.

Another milestone for Cabrera:

 

First player ever with 30 HR and 90 RBI before the All-Star break.

It would be awesome if we had a player on the halos with those stats............by the end of the year.
