Why? Don't like his .307 average, .383 OBP, .530 slugging, 12HR, 48RBI, 19 SB, 22doubles, 6triples?I went Trout # 1 twice this year, and am having a slight tinge of buyers
remorse.

I think he'd rather have the .368 average, .460 OBP, .649 slugging, 21HR, 77RBI & 18 doubles from Cabrera. But those 19 stolen bases do make it tempting, I do love those 20/20+ players.

I love 20/20 players as well, but they have to be 20/20 players... I think often the potential 20/20 players are overrated... I would always rather have an elite player at a particular stat than a player that is good(not great) at everything... example-everth cabrera over shane victorino( I know they play 2 different positions).
That is precisely why I love Trout.
He is elite at steals and runs and above average everywhere else. How many guys will get you 40+ steals and 25+ HRs? If this is his sophomore slump, what happens next year?
I love Miggy too, I just don't think this choice is so clear cut. At least Braun has simplified things somewhat by bowing out of the race.
