Comment: Mike Trout has taken over as the outstanding player in the American league after a couple of years dueling with Miguel Cabrera. The argument was always that Cabera was the greatest hitter but Trout was the best all-around player. But something has happened to Miguel’s power: He has only 17 home runs vs. Trout’s 31 this year. He’s still producing runs nearly as well in Detroit’s line-up but he’s not in the top ten base producers.
Baseball stupidity: Paul Goldschmidt was leading the National League in runs produced and third in bases when a pitch fractured his left wrist and ended his season pre-maturely. It was clearly accidental. But manager Kirk Gibson decided that something had to be done about it under baseballs famous “unwritten rules, (there is a reason they aren’t written). He then ordered his pitcher to hit the Pirate’s Andrew McCutcheon the next night. McCutcheon, who had been leading in bases produced and was 7th in runs produced, sustained a fracture rib. His season is not over but he missed 14 games. Goldschmidt is falling out of the top tens, (he’s still tied for 10th in runs but that won’t last). McCutcheon had dropped out of the top ten in runs, although he’s still #2 in bases and is back playing.
