I think it's funny that, since 2010, Cabrera's worst year was the year he won the triple crown and the MVP.
He's clearly more valuable this year than he was last year but isn't (in all likelihood) going to win the triple crown. **** the triple crown, it's arbitrary. Like hitting for the cycle.
If eye had just won the "Triple-Crown" in MLB, ---& U were my agent,
representing me @ contract time, well ---->>> YOU ARE FIRED !!!
People here are truly trying 2 get U 2 cease using the word 'arbitrary'
as it applies 2 the game, & it's number groupings, which is what the
WAR numbers are; groupings...
The absolute ONLY place wherein MLB actually uses that very word
'arbitrary' is ONLY as it relates to umpire decisions... Period...
U are NO umpire... Nor are U an agent representing any aspect of
the game, wherein U are required 2 have your $h!t together...
U R merely a typist in this Forum, who skews words that very much
mis-represent this game of baseball... Pour the whole bag of 'salt'
on your breakfast 'Wheaties', before you actually pour on the motor
oil, then bake it on your truck radiator, & U still will have no anything
that nourishes, nor propels your truck down any road today...
Batting average (for any given season) is NOT a batting average that
is recognized by MLB, until the last game of the season... Arbitrary is
not selecting game #87, & saying that a batting average matters then
because it's convenient for your argument...
Arbitrary is the LAST word any agent would ever be caught saying, or
typing... MLB defines that word entirely differently, & makes far better
use of that word, than U could possibly ever do here...
Find another word, or finally declare that no one on this planet has any
ability or skill @ predicting the future...
The 'T-C' is what this game is about; achievements that go beyond the
"Babe"... Comparing it to the "cycle" only says MORE about U than that
actual subject that U think U are typing about...
