Mike Trout had a 10.5 bWAR in 2012 and did not win MVP

Miguel Cabrera ranked 4th in AL in bWAR (7.1) that year.

If leading AL in average, HR & RBI is more important than a 10+ WAR, what happens when the MLB leader in SO/9 is also Top 5 in HR ,RBI, OPS, TB, XBH, SLG, IBB & 3B. https://t.co/xO7e3QQKk3
