Who should win the 2012 AL MVP award?

[Tulane Skins Fan]

I hate continuing this but the dude slumped, even mcqueen won't refute that. Again, relative to his standard of dominance, he didn't play terribly he just cooled off, alot. He had a scorching July which is when the hype machine exploded and then August and September he cooled off, alot. He was still good but offensively not near as good as Cabrera down the playoff run stretch. Again, my comparison was strictly offensively, he'll always win in WAR but I'm not arguing he's not a vastly superior defender/runner to Cabrera just that Cabrera will probably win because he was red hot when the Tigers needed him to be. And it's not that misleading, it's not like he had three 0-7 games that are just weighing him down. He cooled off, it happens, no way he was keeping up his July pace.

He was on fire for the last two weeks of the season.

I'm sorry, I feel like you're cherry picking what I'm saying too.

Let me ask you this, what is the exact time frame, date to date of his slump?

And I guess I will never understand why you just set aside his vastly superior defense.
