Re: AL mvp....

30 HR, 45 SB and 125 runs are all impressive numbers, but even though no one's hit that exact combination before, it's not like the season itself is unprecedented in its quality. Rickey Henderson in 1985, 1986 and 1990. Eric Davis in 1986 and 1987. Barry Bonds spent about a decade in that neighborhood. Trout's had a great power-speed season with a high OB. Those aren't uncommon.
