I get the defensive spectrum issue but I doubt Cabrera considered it.

To me the most compelling argument for Cabrera is that he won the triple crown and his team made it to the playoffs. Traditionally that has been pretty much enough. I would've voted for Trout but i'm not offended by the alternative outcome.
