Sorry for the inconvenience you have been put through. May be better for you to find a thread that meets your higher expectations.

I just might. Given your Hall of Fame apparently consists of Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and Ted Williams, there is hardly a way to add anything anymore.

Right. Plus he went to the dead zone of Cincinnati. I agree there is typically an east coast bias but I never actually thought it occurred in baseball all that much. I guess I thought that because baseball is so big on states that popularity doesn't really impact much except the all star game.

Yes, Miguel Cabrera is roughly as good of a hitter as Mike Trout is (at least before his current decline phase). But Trout plays a much harder position and is very good at that position, while Cabrera is a mediocre-or-worse first/third baseman. Not to mention that Trout is an excellent baserunner, and Miguel Cabrera is, umm, not.

But if your combination of park adjusted On Base % and Slugging % is better as a CF than a perennial Triple Crown candidate 1B, steal 25-30 bases a year and are a pretty good defensive CF, then it's a no-brainer which player is better in every facet of the game. Put Trout in an average or better hitter's park and his raw numbers would be even better.
