Trout had a very, very good year, where Cabrera had a season for the ages.

Trout batted lead off in all but one of his 138 games. You put him in the middle of the line up and he basically has 25 more RBIs. That isn't even counting the fact that he didn't play 26 games at the start of the season. The only reason the Angels were in contention till the last 3 days of the season was because of him. Sure the "traditional" stats AVG, HR, and RBI point to Cabrera. But I don't think anyone can discount what Trout did this season by saying it was a very good year... It was much much more than very good.
