That's the sort of thing that got me wondering. A lot of the traditional things that used to get looked for aren't thought of the same by a lot of people. RISP, contending team, would the team still win without them, games missed, all can get taken into consideration rightly or wrongly. Power, consistency, 'clutchness', the list goes on.
It will be truly sad if Trout doesn't win a few more. Would you rather always be right up there in the voting and just miss out, or would you rather have a couple of great years mixed with a few down ones but win more trophy's?
