Honestly, Cabrera is winning in all 3 stats. It's impossible, he should thank the tigers for getting Prince Fielder and for putting Prince behind him, but how is this not national news and local news everywhere every night? Is it just a bias against a Hispanic guy? What is going on?

I hear about it, mostly as we've been rooting for Mauer to win another batting title to deny Cabrera the triple crown.
But I have to agree that if he wins it, he should be the MVP. Just to recognize that rarity of the feat.
I think it gets discounted for him, though, because hitting at a massively high level is expected from him.
